    Yeah, but it’s a well known, well hidden fact, that Arch users are the beta testers of packages before real distros includes them…

    We don’t actually use Arch, it’s a testing environment.

    But we need those testers you know… So…

    GO ARCH GO best distro evar!!

    Hehe…

      Hypothetically, as long as you did your own feature freeze and security patching (and testing, and testing, and testing), you could use Arch in production.
      Should you?
