I've never used it, but the distributed source-code-management may have
a somewhat steep learning curve for some.

outlines a couple common complaints about Arch specifically.  Not
knowing much more about arch, I will refrain from saying much more about
it.  The nice thing about moving to something decentralized is that the
hosting of the repository gets dramatically easier.  Many of them do not
require more than a FTP or HTTP server for access.

The sourceware.org folks will have subversion software soon I have
learned (for gcc, who is moving to it within a week).  They host the
code for many a GNU project, I will send them an email and see if I can
get any details on that.
