Define "stable." I've been using arch without data loss for over a year
on a code base of over a half a million lines.
I'm also curious what you mean by "well supported." I can't think of a
free software project in existence that has a more dedicated maintainer
than arch does.

Certainly not. I wouldn't suggest a wholesale change to any system, not
matter how "stable." I would suggest a gateway maintainer for a CVS
head "mirror" in an arch archive, with transition to arch happening
relatively slowly as people learn the system and its benefits at their
own pace.

There is one legitimate complaint, however: there is no Windows
support, and probably won't be anytime soon.
