I literally let my server sit without upgrades for almost three years before realizing my autoupdater script had been failing me. The biggest issue was needing to manually download a statically linked version of pacman (found on the arch forums) to support the new mirror/signing features. Once the system pacman was upgraded, I just ran `pacman -Syu`, let it spin for a while, and rebooted, and it just worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
