@ PHP5.1
To most people a point release like that is a minor upgrade. Its not
the Arch Dev's fault it was broken.

@ Communication.
Arch has a homepage which communicates upcoming things like hwdetect and initrd.

@ Arch in production
Arch wasnt ever made for production, and i wouldnt use it for that. I
wouldnt even reccomend it for that. Arch is for the sorta person who
would want to get that PHP5.1 update straight away, without testing,
and then downgrade if needed.

If you're unsure about a major release on a production system that
cant handle a break, wait a few days, let others test it, thats what I
did back when udev was still a finicky thing with problems with every
second release.

Arch has a good setup now, with good communication. There is a
homepage, there is the forums, there is the mailing list. All have
info about upcoming major changes. And I think theres also the
newsletter. Oh and the Dev blog too.
