Section 3.1.6 of the user documentation has system configuraiton setup information being put into the etc/modules.conf (specificaly network device alias); however this file is upgrade by pacman and overwrites this file with a new version.

Found this issue upgrading a remote computer and lost network contectivity after an upgrade/reboot cycle. Very difficult to correct as I needed to then have physical access to the server.

I have put this file into my local copy of etc/pacman.conf as a NoUpgrade, just thought the main distribution should also or other users could run into this issue.
This task depends upon

True, /etc/modules.conf should never be touched by pacman. I'll add it to the NoUpgrade list in the default pacman.conf.
