Regular Releases are Wrong. Roll For Your Life
> Upstream packages change fast
> Upstream support is typically short, shorter than the life-time of some LTS distributions
> SUSE (and others) maintain a large number of distribution variants that need to be updated regularly
> Upstream projects are getting larger and larger
> Using stable release and trying to back-port security fixes
isn't safer than using the latest versions with all the security fixes
> The closer you are to upstream the better it is for everyone
> It's easier to work with upstream
> It's easier to contribute and submit patches
> Slow and conservative updates models don't work
> Slow update models are not more sustainable
> Slow update models undermine "Open Source"
> "Partially Slow" is "Totally Broken"
