How times have changed. It used to be that *NIX supporters put

Now people "look forward" to their next reboot and even re install.

It's an interesting social change, I guess.

A "rolling release" is not possible when one changes versions
of the compiler, in general, unless one uses only statically
linked images. I don't foresee that happening.

Well, a lot of people use laptops nowadays... I use my laptop as primary
workstation at work and take it home every day, for example.
As for desktops - power outages happen at least 2-3 times a year anyway
