Are you talking about the willingness of the Linux community in general to go through tough technical transitions for the sake of progress? If so, I'd say that's one of the big things that makes Linux so successful, and Windows so slow to improve. There are always the distros with LTS releases for those that can't risk breakage.
+1 I've got several Linux installed, but I only maintain Ubuntu Studio LTS (I'm not willing to maintain any Ubuntu Studio non-LTS) and Arch Linux, until now a very good rolling release, just a briefly look into my crystal ball does show an ugly future.
