Who would buy CD's if there were a "rolling release"?  CD sales are an
important source of funding.

Every time OpenBSD makes a release, it makes news on Slashdot and other
websites.  How would OpenBSD make up for the lost publicity with a
rolling release?

Rolling releases are arguably more buggy than semi-annual releases
because less time is spent ensuring their consistency.  Some users, such
as myself, prefer the relatively bug-free semi-annual releases.
