Explicit pacman command as installation instruction given on the wiki has been deprecated: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Help:Style#Package_management_instructions "to avoid errors such as pacman -Sy package or possibly never-ending discussions like the choice between pacman -S package and pacman -Syu package" So, I believe it solves the dilemma.
