I thought the Arch devs intend for the users to upgrade all packages together and that single package upgrades are not a supported practice. How does Manjaro keep this going if certain packages can migrate down the branches while others might get blocked?
I'm more curious about why point-based releases are better for benchmarking, though. Does Ubuntu contain the entire default install in the install image, or does a default install still require pulling packages from the Ubuntu repos? Because if it's the later, isn't that kinda like being back to the same problem as that with a rolling release, that changes in the repository can make benchmark results unreproducible?
