I think you want a "stable" tree of Arch, a place where packages are not updated, but are applied security patches only. This doesn't exist in Arch, even if some users would like to have it (not me actually). If many users want a thing like that, someone could start an unofficial project for it, but this won't happen by the devs side. Bear in mind that a project like this (IMHO) is even more difficult and time-consuming than manage an updated repository.
