Its not like arch is one year old im using it since quite some time. They trie to keep small not add anything not every user needs. If you wnat to build a complex Linux with arch, go and do so. Doesn't bather the rest of the arch users.
I agree to this. Arch has been out there for long enough; but it has been lean. To exemplify: it does not provide packaged Broadcom wireless drivers. You have to compile them yourselves.
