Alright, somebody tell me why this isn't as awesome as it looks and why I shouldn't immediately wipe my current install and use this instead.
It helps to read the Arch news link but normally I've missed it the rare time I ought to have checked it and you can still just figure things out and move on quickly.
For years now I've had almost nothing break except some intermittent minor annoyance with trivial bits of KDE. I'll live!
