FastTrack matches TUV FastTrack, for SL we call it Fastbugs.  It is a area 
for "early released" rpms.

rolling was named after the original RedHat rawhide area.  This was a area 
that would change alot.  So the name rolling was named after rawhide 
iinfluenced by the "rolling rolling rawhide" song.  For me rolling means 
"changing".
