Read the what now?

Arch has a news feed where it describes things that require manual intervention when upgrading: https://archlinux.org/ (You are informed at arch install that you have to read it before upgrading.)

What an awesome and amazing and definitely not annoying system. Automating that to show you only what you need based on the packages you have installed when you do the update would be so ridiculous. I’m glad it’s just a blog.

There are messages with generic recommendations and post upgrade/post install scripts. They are rarely used because it goes against arch's principles to run some (maybe fragile) script on your system. Reading news once a week/month before upgrade isn't that inconvenient.
