But you ignored it:
"I've no intention to do a full system upgrade ATM"
I did not ignore it, I gave some reasons why that was not an option at that time. And those reasons are in line with advice posted on this list by people who are supposed to know what they are talking about.
If you don't want to make a full upgrade -- you can still install/upgrade individual pkgs, but you'll have to investigate their dependencies (using svntogit) and install those too -- manually. Although discouraged, the above operation is straightforward, but only if you have good knowledge of your system and the packaging process. Your question indicates otherwise.
You then got explanations of why you are an idiot and what you did does not work on rolling release distros and is not supported by Arch...
Despite your arrogance and lack of manners, I will continue to use Arch and advocate it, as I have done for the last three years.
