Note that 30rolling is just a test release.   The "stable" release will be
out in a few weeks.  You are invited to install the "rolling" release if
you want.  Know that the name implies "moving" and the "rolling"
release may be different today vs tomorrow.  The name was also taken from
the RedHat "rawhide" as in "rolling rolling rawhide" :-)
