Hi Pierre,

My concern about rolling release is what happens when something breaks, 
as occasionally happens? With the current system you can easily roll 
back to the last stable release. How easy will this be under rolling 
releases?

I welcome someone having a go at the display server. The current X 
system is getting quite old, for example support for multiple monitors 
can cause problems. I am very reluctant to use my laptop with a strange 
projector, without first having a practice in private, as I have had 
embarrassing experiences where the projector was not compatible. This is 
an area where linux is still quite a way behind Windows.
