    Why should arch be any different - how many distros are there based on Debian (or Ubuntu, which is based on Debian)?

      Are any commonly used desktop distros debian based besides Ubuntu ? Ubuntu derivatives are not as they follow the latest upstream packages 1:1 usually iirc. Monjaro has its own dependency update schedule so it creates a new userspace dependency set to build against. If 10 distros follow the same thing we have 10 different timestamps of arch you have to build against.

      Maybe my info is out of date, I just use arch & fedora.
