Hi, thanks for the question.

I worked a lot on making Unity and indicators usable on Arch Linux, but I don't want to add any of these packages[1] into [community], because Ubuntu heavily patched gtk2, gtk3[2], metacity and compiz, and it's impossible to build and/or use some packages with the upstream, unmodified packages. They patched a lot of other packages also for better integration into the panel and the launcher. So if GNOME developers accept some must have patches, then I could imagine to add these packages, but until it does not happen, it's better to keep them in a separated repo. (However I'm not sure that Ubuntu sent all required patches to upstream yet.)
