I think we may have a language barrier -- I have no idea what you're
getting at.

I said "doesn't scale up to more than one *user*". "We" = package/pacman
owners/developers -- this *does* scale to all the users of Arch Linux.
Was this not clear?

I'm not saying the developers/packagers have infinite reasources, I was
pointing out that it might make sense and be worth the effort to
implement something (process/pacman support/whatever) which would scale
to all the users of Arch Linux and could hopefully be specified
in-package once and for all for known cases where upgrades WILL break
things.
