I don't think that the principle of rolling releases support such mistakes more 
than as you use another distribution. You only move the timepoint more in the 
future but if such a distribution do the step from at example A to B than you 
have to do this "nightmare" search of changed config files for all packages. 

That's all because mistakes are even possible instead no one wants to make them. 
I think, and this is more my experience, that you will get a lot of more stories 
about updates in archlinux which runs without a problem instead the list of 
packages was enormous.

See you, Attila
