No. (Well there are exceptions, and that is when you have an actual
problem that affects arch). And you must change the archive file 'log'
too, and then update that in ALL mirrors, and finally ensure (guarantee)
that everyone merge in that revision that does the alteration from you.

Thats fallacious. logs and revisions list different state - they are
expected to be different. The {arch} logs are housekeeping, the content
is expected to be identical.
