Why not have a continuously evolvingdistribution? One would start by downloading an "installer system" thatwould then use the existing mechanisms (yum, whatever) to update itself.From this point on, why would one need "releases"? Just keep releasingupdates and new packages exactly as things are done now.

For a start not everyone in the world has enough bandwidth for that:so they need iso images to be able to upgrade for example.
