In fact, while we're at it - never have another "release", just keep
upgrading rpms forever with individual packages being released,
but nothing called a whole distribution having a release. Individual
rpms just get marked obsolete and replaced with new ones in the
ever updated lists.
Now *that* would be a Knight in shining armor! Fedora 7 is a mere
feeble imitation in comparison :-).

Now, this is a great idea. No more worrying about upgrades or do I have
enough time before the next release to make all the changes. What about
he secondary repositories for things that will never be in Fedora proper
that you have to wait to be released.
I would like to see Fedora 7 or Fedora 8 become just Fedora and then no
more 6 month release dates. Just updates to what would be the next
release.
QA is a nightmare with a rolling updates model for the whole
distribution. There are some changes that are just too intrusive to put
in as updates. Moreover even distribution with rolling updates have
"releases" which are snapshots of the repository packages which can be
used as a starting point for retail distribution and a starting point.
