And turning all releases into rolling branches helps keep things sane?
Please call a spade a spade. Without a reduction in churn in the stable releases that is what they become and remain until EOL - a rolling branch.
No, a "semi-rolling" branch, as in a branch which picks up rolling feature upgrades WITHOUT the disruption and breakage inherent to a rolling branch, which instead only happens from one release to another. In other words, the best of both worlds (release-based and rolling).
