Sure, and I've done partial upgrades and it was mostly fine:) It just surprised me to see the devs going out of their way to support it on volunteer time. On the other hand, maybe that's exactly the reason; maybe someone said "hey look, I can make static packages that are immune to library changes! I guess I'll publish these in case they're useful". Open source is fun like that:)

Also, Arch devs probably run Arch servers, and I'd not be surprised if some of those have uptimes in hundreds of days.
All Arch infra runs on Arch Linux. The infrastructure repository is all open.

Now, official infra doesn't reach hundreds of days. But personal systems might :)
