I just watched it.  It seems to focus on the cuts/snapshots rather than
on rolling, but I agree with the general goals, as long as we keep in
mind and advertise the difference in expected quality — or in the set of
available packages.

  And if I may join the bikeshedding, let me suggest we rename “testing”
to “staging”, and stick with “rolling” for the new thing :-)
