When using Arch as a server distro, you HAVE to be prepared to revert packages back that bork things, php/apache/mysq/ etc..... this isn't hard at all. I ran into the same php issues, and have yet to complete the upgrade, I simply reverted the package back, and set it to ignore in the upgrade list. I LOVE arch for servers, you just have to use a bit of common sense when doing upgrades. Especially if the servers are like mine, remote servers. However, I have run into much tougher issues when using other versions of Linux to do the same thing. In the end, the trade off of stability vs. bleeding edge, I much prefer the bleeding edge stuff. The most current patches for security are usually implemented, and while at times it breaks a few things you have to fix, many times your going to run into the same issue down the road with a stable system too, patches that break things, at least with the bleeding edge stuff, I have the newest security fixes in place..... so, I prefer to deal with one or two issues per year myself, and have the latest releases of the applications. Just my opinion, ymmv.
