Rrrrolling Rrreleases

Hi all, as you have probably seen there has been discussion opened up about having a rolling release between the LTS releases. My guess is that this means the approved LoCo teams would get a CD pack to distribute every two years rather than every 6 months. Anyone know if this is a good guess,
