Well actually even though I don't think it's the time to switch, arch seems
pretty cool, and when it _does_ come time to change someday, I think it's a
real contender.  Arch has an appealingly tool-oriented approach, and uses
`understandable' data representations, unlike subversion which seems to be
more of a `big binary blob' design...

I did find an interesting thread on arch on the OpenBSD mailing list, BTW,
where Tom Lord does a pretty good job of answering some skeptical questions;
a google search should turn it up...
