Is any of this really an argument against Arch adopting it? Arch and Gentoo and all the other rolling distros are the cowboy distros (I run Arch on my laptop).

Is any of this really an argument against Arch adopting it? Arch and Gentoo and all the other rolling distros are the cowboy distros (I run Arch on my laptop). Literally anything can break with an update on Arch. Is Arch not the best place to try new ideas and see if they work out with a bunch of fairly technical users? I'm not about to switch all my servers to it but I'm more then willing to play around with it on my laptop.

Arch is a testing bed for people who like screwing around with Linux. Nothing against that but from time to time I'd like to be able to do actual work on my workstation :)
