Hi Aron,

in addition to what the others say (i fully support):
note, that arch does not support partial updates, while nowhere you'll
find a maximum time between updates, that is supported.

i have done the exact same this summer - experiencing no problems at
all. i was away nearly two month. i didnt bother with several update
steps as well…

greetings
