I think this already exists to some extent.
It's called "new cd/dvd installer image", that is, whenever the Arch team releases a new installer, which is supposed to be every month now?
what? every month? are you crazy :)
or follow kernel releases, then they have to approach a minimum level of stability. I suppose an idea could be to only -Syu whenever arch has a new "release". That way atleast, you will get a bit more "stable" arch.
If this is not enough you will have to create/helpout the stable arch project/wiki.

I don't think that would change anything. Sure, every time you do an update some things might change and might require a bit of work. All of the snapshot/... stuff proposals are just about delaying updates (and the associated work) Arch is not, and will never be about automatically changing configurations and things like that. A snapshotting system also won't change that. Dieter
