Then maybe you should select something that gives you more peace of
mind. I'm not saying that you can't use Arch for mission critical
machines but you need to know very well what you are doing.

Currently for my personal use I don't want anything else other than Arch
but for machines that have more users and _need_ to keep working I'm
using centos (devs I'm sorry to hinder your world domination plans but I
think I'm not competent enough to manage Arch on a server so better use
something that in theory will give me less surprises).

I don't think anyone is having a 'cocky attitude', Arch works like this,
thats all. Other distros have other goals and policies, you need to pick
the one that you feel comfortable with.
