Can we not ask those who want a rolling release to edit /etc/apt/sources.list themselves? This is already explained in various places: https://tracker.pureos.net/w/pureos/software_center/software_sources/
No, that is not the problem here. The problem is all users of green having only the green suite mentioned in their sources.list, since no -updates or -security suites exist for a rolling-release distribution (and that's what PureOS is currently designed for). So actually, all users of green would have to update their sources.list to still have security updates, which I really don't think is possible if they manually do that - we can't reach every user of green with a blogpost. (that's why we either need to find a way to do that automatically, or just keep green rolling and create a new stable suite that existing users can opt-in instead)
