I wonder how much this proposal is driven by Ubuntu's push into the mobile space versus improving the Ubuntu project at large. Clearly it's possible rolling releases would aid both.

I guess what I'm really asking is what are the possible negative implications of the plan for the more "traditional" Ubuntu users? Many of whom are likely sysadmins trying to maintain consistent package versions across their infrastructure. Sticking to the LTS versions is the first step. But then you would be delaying access to newer package versions without the interim releases.
