A Slackware install is extremely stable. As in, there are not system upgrades every week. So it's unlike Arch in this respect, and more like the rest of the stable distros. (E.g. Debian, Ubuntu, etc...)
However, with a stable distro one often finds themselves hankering for an update for a specific package or adding source-based packages. Rolling your own packages with Slackware is extremely transparent and using its tools to do so is dead simple.
