I hope that we will.  My biggest worry with the rolling release
methodology is that there is no deadlines for people to work towards
except the LTS deadlines.  This will then encourage more polishing and
refining, with a rush to an even bigger deadline.  We could all say "you
should be more disciplined than that," which is a truism, but one that
seems to ignore human nature.  So I hope that there will be deadlines
for the monthly releases that people can target, and use for their own
milestones.
