Ask HN: Is there any evidence Rolling-Releases improve software quality?
In my experience with lots of different software, it does the exact opposite. For example: macOS Snow Leopard (10.6) is still my favorite release. I recently used it on an old machine and it felt snappier and more responsive than Sierra (10.12) on a modern macBook Pro. It was also the longest release window from the previous release: 672 days. And I&#x27;m tempted to believe this was no coincidence.<p>I believe software should be released when it is ready, not when the marketing team decided &quot;it is time&quot; or &quot;customers prefer it like that&quot;. And this is especially curious since Apple was known for delivering &quot;what customers did not know they wanted&quot;.<p>What are your experiences with software you use? Or if you work in a development team, what are your experiences with your own software development?<p>Thanks!
