There are a few distributions that do this - Gentoo, Arch etc. Each has

difficult to stabilize even to a nominal level.

While that is true, the argument goes that large periodic releases
has drawbacks too - and the kernel seems to be do pretty well with its
approach ... I still wonder whether the kernel way may work for fedora ..
The rolling release model works well for distributions that simply follow
upstream, but Fedora is often *ahead* of upstream on several features. We need
to maintain a bit more stability with the baseline package so we can safely add
the innovative patches that aren't yet in Linus's kernel tree.
