Get rid of MHWD?

As I said, this isn’t my problem. I understood that there is a missing package, I rolled back, system was working again. And I am also aware, that the the dependency issue is solved by now [manjaro-packages] [BoxIt] Memo (x64).
You are right, that the issue from today was not the best example of my problem with mhwd. My actual problem was, that I didn’t even notice, that the 455xx branch is out. Because as I said, in my opinion, such upgrade should have been done by pacman. And to be honest, I’ve had issues with every nvidia upgrade so far.
So my REAL question is: is there a way to use only pacman for updating the drivers/kernels (like in Arch)?
I am coming from Arch, because I got tired of the endless updates and changes. And so far my only problem with Manjaro is the presence of mhwd.
PS: I understand, that mhwd is a work in progress piece of software, but IMHO it is nothing but ‘Enjoy the simplicity’ in it’s current state.
