That is fantastic, congratulations!!

But you know what I'm going to ask :-). What steps are left, if any, before the 
"normal" Arch Linux packages that people install are reproducible (at least in 
core Arch Linux)? Has that milestone been achieved? Will it be achieved once 
some package updates are released? Or is there something more, and if so, what 
is it?

Sorry, it wasn't clear to me if this was some sort of special set of "test 
packages" or if they were the normal Arch Linux packages.
