I never read the update notes and the only time I've ever bricked my Arch system was by pulling the power chord during an update. I probably could have recovered from live cd, but it didn't seem worth it.

I bricked my system once due to not reading release notes (but that was closer to 2010 than 2020). Release notes were kind enough to outline solution for systems broken due to not reading the release notes.

However, I stopped using arch mainly because I was working with ROS at the time, where every boost upgrade triggered half-a-day recompilation of ROS and it's various plugins.
