Arch Linux comes with binaries for the current stable releases from
upstream. This nearly has no drawback, for servers you perhaps still
prefer to hold a package and to test updates by a test install first,
even while everything was tested by the test repository. For let's
say a
professional audio production environment you simply can update to
current stable releases and if needed (but it usually isn't needed)
downgrade packages from cache. Arch is a "real" rolling release and
there perhaps are other stable rolling releases out there.
Regarding to branches from development trees, such as git and svn,
Arch
has got a special binary repository and a build system comparable to
FreeBSD ports.
I think that source distros can have such a system, but they are
really
hard to install
It depends on the users skills and how much only is available by
source,
again, that is what I mean with all distros with a huge userbase have
advantages and drawbacks. I don't say that to please everybody, it
isn't
political correctness, it's just an objective fact.
