Exactly!

The main part of the Linux distributions are simply not intended to 
build as rolling release.
There is simply no way to "work around" this within the rule set of 
these distributions.

Users that want to follow some nightly and so called releases will need 
to use distribution/flavor A or B or C that can and will support this.

But I haven't seen a serious usage of what Linux DE ever that was build 
on distributions that are using a rolling release model.
