Arch isn't liable regardless. It's a community driven project run by volunteers without contracts. >it's pretty common that you have to update archlinux-keycha

  Listen, dude, this isn’t litigation. The shit is broken sometimes, it’s ok, but we are here to be intellectually curious and have a discussion. Lying to people about how broken it can be to update in reality is the opposite of that. We aren’t here to pull down arch or the community; just here to spit facts.

    I disagree that having to update a package which is also now a automatic service qualifies as broken. Sure there are issues but they are usually either self induced e.g. AUR, easily fixable e.g. keyring update or broadcasted publicly with a fix e.g. archnews. At the end of the day arch is firmly a do it yourself distro where some user intervention is expected.

      Right so, > I've also been using Linux for years (Arch, btw) and never had an update break my install or cause issues Is an anecdote that is worthy of being attacked with my own, given the context that people might come away thinking that Arch updates do not break their system.. right?

        Right, just make sure that anecdote actually applies.
