> This is "Arch is unstable" thing is very much a myth pushed forward by people who only dabbled with Arch once or twice then had it break, then completely dismissed it as unstable.

This accurately describes my experience. I stopped using Arch around the time git broke when I updated. I'm not clear what mistake I made. What level of Arch intermediate or expert level Arch knowledge is required to keep git working?

Not really. Arch has a strict upstream rule, they avoid patching or maintiain dead shit. So when the hellish time when KDE4.0 came out, they released it immediately. Anyone upgrading on a 3.5 system was severely disadvantages
