I've used arch for about 9 years and have only really had it break on me for a reason that was a) shitty hardware or b) a pre-planned breakage that was alerted to and a solution given via the news page. Maybe some other minor cases of breakage but all had solutions in say, the Arch Wiki. Never has the build system itself crapped out on me, though
