> A rolling release just means that there are no major version bumps that require an active opt-in when upgrading.

Indeed. However IMO this definition is not complete without taking into account the matching status of upstream software versions available and package versions made available by the distro at any given point in time. This is the continuous delivery expected and what gives a distro rolling status among its peers.
