Re: wheezy freeze

Ubuntu is not at all a rolling release, because, as far as I know, it 
does some stable versions, which last for 6 months before a new one 
spawn.
You can have a definition of the term rolling release here: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release

There are well known distributions in rolling release, like archlinux 
or gentoo. Of course, they are not for basic users, but everything have 
a cost, and the one for rolling release is to be able to know what you 
are doing.

When you say that the freeze is "too long", I do not really understand:
_ Debian have that reputation, so why did you choose it?
_ The freeze started less than 4 months ago (I do not have the exact 
date), and I do not think things will be frozen for more ages...
_ As far as I know, experimental/unstable are not frozen. Am I wrong? 
If not, why don't you choose them?
