Re: Kernel 3.14 Issues
Not upgrading for a while doesn't seem like a big deal to me so I don't see why as if it's the end of the world. And if it is, please elaborate on the reasons.
Arch is like a bike: it is stable as long as you are rolling.
Updating regularly is the only supported approach.

Re: Kernel 3.14 Issues
Not upgrading the kernel will potentially leave you open to security bugs.
If you have problems with the latest kernel you can install the linux-lts package which will receive security upgrade.
Keep both installed, and choose during boot.
Would this be recommended in a case like mine? Upgrading to 3.15 breaks Xen, preventing it from booting. Re-installed, same thing, prior to 3.15 life was great, now I just want to go back if possible.
