I had a look at it and gave it a pass. There are a few distros out there that can be dropped in to replace CentOS 8. I really like Rocky Linux 8 which has former CentOS developers working on it.
Back on topic. I highly doubt that Slackware will become a rolling release. I'm looking forward to 15.0.

I am idiot -- removed ---

I presume everyone here KNOWS that you can clone an existing distribution and make changes to create your own custom distribution, right? If you want something like SLACKWARE that is not SLACKWARE then the answer is to create your own. I am not currently using SLACKWARE, but when I do it is for the characteristics we treasure about it.

And that is what I also alluded in my earlier post - do it yourself then. I on the otherhand do not have the skill or the time nor the desire - even if say I wanted to suddenly use a rolling-release distro, then I would go to OpenSUSE or others.

Or Suse OpenLeap if you prefer a stable release over rolling.

I'm hoping this particular ailment will be fixed with a stable Slackware release

While I'd like to see weekly, monthly, or at least quarterly stable updates/snapshots, I don't think Slackware should become rolling release, as that almost always means using latest software regardless if stable or not (and usually having an older stable release also.) That's what the testing/ package set is for, and so far it's never a large set, so there's zero point in having a rolling release, unless the Slackware team grows large enough they can have dozens or hundreds testing/ packages so sometimes daily updates of that. If they did that, that would be a rolling part. You just configure slackpkg to use testing/ or not. In that sense it already is rolling, but only on rare occasions.
