As someone who cut their linux teeth on Gentoo, This is good news. The option to have the most up to date software is a boon to all users. As for the dreaded monthly or when-ever-user-gets-around-to-it updates/upgrades. It's usually a simple task to ping the server and see what needs updating. Then you can execute the update at your leisure.

This is largely what drove me to using arch, as every release upgrade of ubuntu was a goddamn nightmare, and haven't really considered ubuntu outside of purpose-built (and destructible) vm servers since.  My love of arch is not without issues, upgrades can be painful at times too unless you're the kind to reboot often and upgrade weekly, but just isn't how I work, so interested how ubuntu fares with the rolling releases.
