that a six-month-cycle update is in contrast to Arch philosophy. We should steak with the latest in hackage and it should be quite easy if every package is in archhaskell repo.

Arch is not a testing distro... And it's not even up to date with Haskell Platform. If you want to "go faster them haskell platform" you will need to work hard with packaging testing and this seems NOT the case with Arch at the moment...

I don't think it's quite that easy. AFAIU we'll soon have a choice to make, either stick to HP with an old version of GHC, or move to the latest stable GHC (7.4) and drop HP proper. Personally, I'm in favour of the latter. /M
