Mesa 7.12, Linux 3.2 Likely For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Ubuntu as a rolling release would be something great. However, if that's not achievable from some reasons at least not core related software should be updated.

Gentoo is a rolling distribution and it doesn't have many issues with core software updates. If it is managed properly, it could be done entirely automatically, although that would be more work for the ebuild maintainers.

I like:
the plan to backport new kernels and the X/Mesa stack;
the support on the desktop for five years;
but i would like avoid Unity.
Perhaps i'm going toward Xubuntu.

About rolling distro, i have used for a certain ammount of time, archlinux and i think similar distro aren't adapt for mass usage.
