really worth it, let's rather switch to a stable rolling release for
those who want the latest and greatest. LTS will be there for the rest.
And the rolling release version can also serve as a stream of apps for
LTS releases. We can build the latest Firefox with the latest stable
Fedora bits and provide it on LTS releases as a flatpak. A single build
for all releases. The model may actually even be easier for
maintainers.
I think the very, very high fast rate I'm seeing in the mirror stats (see
https://twitter.com/mattdm/status/1063058469903839232) recently supports the
idea of a rolling release to cater to a lot of our audience. I wouldn't
necessarily have said that three years ago -- look at the upgrade curve for
f23 at the left side of the graph.
