That is true... though dll hell was also somewhat of an issue with Windows, but they managed that with WinSxS.

This is why rolling release distros are the way to go for desktops. I found this out early on. But, on the other hand, I get that people in corporate environments like to use stable releases.

I would suggest Void as a really stable rolling release distro for personal use (corporate probably won't go with this, there is no legal entity backing the distro, it's just a bunch of people maintaining it). It's not bleeding edge like Arch, but more like cutting edge. They do pick and choose when to update/upgrade to stable releases of kernels and other packages, so it really is a lot more stable than Arch.
