Although Arch is not release type distro like Fedora and SuSE it would be nice if installation cds were made available on a regular basis a-la-Gentoo/BSD... New users will be more tempted to try Arch that way, users with slow or no Internet will be able to upgrade their systems... I think that if Arch produced an installation cd every 6 months containing a snapshot of the essential packages + one extra cd with additional software for users with poor internet access that would be fine. Pacman and the installer will naturaly evolve with every new release though they want need to introduce some ground-breaking features 甘. GUI installer is not required at all, but the current one should be completely revamped in my opion. That way we'll keep it small and simple for more and more users. For honour, glory and Arch hegemony!:)
