Gentoo does, mainly because there's no real difference between continuous
updating and installing from scratch (since both recompile all the sources).
Other than that, all the distros I know of operate with the major
release/updates over time model, as Fedora does.
You CAN update openSUSE by changing the YaST repositories. Then again, you
can update Fedora the same way. It's just not an advised move because
there's no guarantee the system will succeed in properly updating all the
necessary packages.
