1) I know about Arch-Way. 2) Arch starts to accelerate developing process and growing up repositories, however Devs/TUs count aren't growing - this way it becomes more and more unstable. Arch can be small but stable instead of big and unusable, since we have limited numbers of Devs. 4) Pacman developers do strange things deaning DB-backends and continue to develop ugly and very slow plaintext DB. 5) As i write above, arch devs now are growing up arch repos, but dependency problem still not resolved - e.g. most of resent problems can't be exists in rpm distros since it updates will be deny by package manager. 6) Fedora is not enterprise and there is no rpm-hell since fedora used yum. yum+rpm even more simple to manage packages than pacman. And it's FASTER than pacman! 7) I don't understand pacman devs - Bash pacman equal works only 10% slower than C pacman!
