I do not have to reinstall Arch when a new ISO comes out. The latest ISO 
is only a "snapshot", not a release. It's just that Arch is so bleeding 
edge that major changes breaks the "upgradability" of very old packages 
and their dependencies (and with it, the installations done with 
obsolete ISOs).

Of course when that happens, a new ISO (a new "snapshot" of the 
repositories) is released.

That's one of the many reasons I installed Arch : Never, ever, do 
anything more than "sudo pacman -Syu" to be up to date. :)

You do not have to update every 5 minutes (you have to have at least 
some little time for it. And be careful of what pacman might report, 
like new optional dependencies), but you must do it from time to time.
