This is a misunderstanding from users POV. Something that a lot of people have.

Arch is a DO IT YOURSELF distro. They write that thing everywhere they can. The stability of the installation is literally ON YOU! Your responsibility as a DO IT YOURSELF distro user. They didn't trick you into it or something.

Expecting Arch linux to spoon feed is like expecting IKEA to give you assembled furniture.

You should use openSUSE or other "managed" rolling release distros. Arch IS NOT A "managed" rolling release distro.

Then they probably shouldn't ship it with a package manager.

		That doesn't follow; DIY is a spectrum. It can be perfectly reasonable for a DIY distro to ship a package manager, just as it can be reasonable for it to run on existing hardware instead of expecting you to break out the soldering iron.

		My installation is now 6 years old. Never had any point release distros that long. Stability is subjective to hardware for starters. And secondly, Arch is a DIY. Do not use it if you can't get it to work for your use cases. We have 300+ distros to choose from. I am just politely telling you that your expectation of you wanting Arch to take care of your installation was never a promise from the project. It's software. It will work the way it is written. As simple as that.
