From the peanut gallery, I also like "fastpaced" it seems the most meaningful
name (to me) from among all those I've read in this list.
Among other things, I think "rolling release" is misleading because of the
potential for confusion with other distros's use of it for an entire distro,
and "volatile" is just not very intuitive to me, plus it has the potential for
confusion with the other use of "volatile" in Debian.
It might be nice to add a word that sort of limited the scope to individual
applications (rather then the entire distro) -- trying some (bad)
brainstorming, maybe:
"fastpaced applications"
"fastpaced apps"
"fastpaced packages"
"fastpack"
"fastapp"
????
