My favorite part of Arch is the rolling packages and my least favorite is the rolling kernel. I dislike having to reboot so often.

You can add the 2 kernel packages to the ignored packages list of pacman and update them manually if needed. Pacman will warn you that it ignored a package update including the currently installed and new package version.

You will not get security and bug fixes but that's what's bothering you, I think.
