To name a few:
when systemd was introduced;
when there were changes made to the file structure (moving everything to /usr);
when kde4 was replaced with kde5.
And there were more issues, I just don't remember all of them.
Reading the news before the update could have helped sometimes but I don't do that every time I execute `pacman -Syu` for various reasons; and sometimes problems are unexpected or just bugs fixed on the next update.
