Arch is bleeding edge. See About page: http://www.archlinux.org/about.php

Note the word bleeding.

Things will break occasionally, and thats just part of the fun of
using Arch. Most major things are put in testing and are there for a
reasonable amount of time. Other things which would seem like a minor
version upgrade have also caused problems, these cant be forseen by
the devs, and its impractical to put every minor version into testing.

You dont realise how much more trouble you would have if everything
went straight to extra/current.

I like bleeding, and most of the time its not bad at all, a minor fix
or glance at the mailing list, homepage or wiki to fix it.
