IMHO doing always in current should be a decision for the whole PLD, not
just AC. It's strange to first make AC the stable branch of PLD - the
one we release and just after it make it 'the new thing' with
always-current model. Th is fresh, is in development state and I see no
need to make AC as well in development state especially with a totally
new release/development cycle.

If we are to make a big change in our distros lifecycle let's make it in
th. I already has all the things You want to get into AC and has more
human-power to make the transition possible in sane time.
