That's a fair concern but in my experience you have lots of the benefits of being up near the edge with very little blood. It helps to read the Arch news link

That's a fair concern but in my experience you have lots of the benefits of being up near the edge with very little blood. It helps to read the Arch news link but normally I've missed it the rare time I ought to have checked it and you can still just figure things out and move on quickly. For years now I've had almost nothing break except some intermittent minor annoyance with trivial bits of KDE. I'll live!
