I don't get what the fuss is about.

I run several Arch boxes, a couple I believe is on 15+ years. One such installation has even been mirrored from one disk to multiple other disks and put into other machines, just because it was already set up as needed. Only once did a package I ran require manual intervention during upgrade, but as always, that was clearly described on the Arch website.

This also goes for Debian, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
