I like this answer from the RaspberryPi forum thread you cited
Seriously, though, if you read through that thread you understand what the risks are and if you're an Arch Linux veteran then you know what to do when things go south. (true confession: I've never used Arch Linux but I use information from the ArchWiki!)
My experience has been that you can load up a moOde installation with all kinds of "foreign" software and experience no problems...until that time when unexpectedly you do!
One trick is to build from sources and instead of directly installing the result, first use checkinstall to create a package. You can then install/uninstall the package at will. Pretty cool!
You'll have to install the checkinstall package first, but it's in the Raspbian repo. Caveat: I don't claim to be an expert at this process, having used it only a few times.
