   i mean, just looking at the wikipedia :

   Version Release date Stability
   1.0 23 March 2008 Stable version
   2.0 16 April 2009 Stable version
   3.0 28 March 2010 Stable version
   4.0 10 April 2012 Current stable version
   5.0 RC1 2 May 2014 Preview version
   5.0 RC2 19 May 2014 Preview version
   5.0 RC3 20 May 2015 Preview version
   5.0 12 March 2017 Rolling release

   five years to release four versions
   five aditionnal years to release only one (and still "rolling")

   from website:
   Current 4.0 stable version was released on 10 April 2012.

   that means if you want a stable operating system, you just have to jump in your time machine. Deal with it.

   (does slitaz cares about the images it send to the slitaz passionates and beginners?)

   As a 'slitaz beginner' I dont have any problem with the out put rate of releases as the 'rolling release' is updated surprisingly quite frequently. (In a way its like a new release every month.)

   And Im happy with the way Slitaz works on my old low spec PCs..and its perfect for dial-up users. (Updates are quite do-able - unlike a lot of heavier systems out there.)

   I see Siltaz as a 'bare bones' type system created and maintained by a 'bare bones' type dedicated working group…who most likely appreciate all the help they can get…and yet at times Ive seen them update stuff in a shorter period than what Id expect from the 'big' linux distros out there.

   I've changed my netbook computer sometimes ago and use now Debian rather than Slitaz (which I still consider interesting for old computers, I just don't use it right now) so I missed entirely this "Rolling Release" thing: what is it about?
   I discussed with a Slitaz developer last year and he told me that they've been waiting to launch Slitaz 5.0 as Stable for a long time and that it should be done soon, but I didn"t get a word about a future rolling release...
