I'm not sure that switching distributions will help there. OBS and other
community repositories (e.g. Arch's AUR, FreeBSD's ports etc.) will always
have the potential for quality issues unless a QA process is enforced.
I have always seen Pacman's offerings as very high quality. Packman has some of
the best volunteer packagers I have come across in any distribution. If I have
any criticism of Packman it would be that it "Tries too hard!" in that updates
come frequently but this could also be interpreted as the packagers being very
responsive.
