How does that work with EOL for a release? Does everything break and you have to re-install?

My disk encryption is a little complicated so I'm happy that my rolling release means I only have to re-install when I swap boxes. That was my biggest issue with Ubuntu -- your were SOL when EOL :P

There's an in place upgrade process, as long as you haven't put a bunch of third party repositories/packages on the system they tend to go generally well

Some of the more drastic changes aren't adopted this way, eg: filesystem defaults

Eh, you could change your source repos/force upgrade etc — just couldn't expect the forums to support your borked system, afterwards.
