Your logic is the flawed one...

Seems that lot's of people think that this was a bad choice.... But it seems 
that philosophy is more important than real people with there desires 
here.... Same as in good old soviet union... I'm having some sort of 
nostalgy... :)

NO!! Things I like in Arch are ABS, pacman and initscripts. And from the very 
begining a hate an absence of docs.... There are different reasons why people 
chooze Arch. That's why your logic is the flawed one.

hmm... I'm not completly right. I do appreciate small size of packages. Just 
because I'm a dial-up user and I don't have fast 24/7 connection. (The other 
things that "big archers" seems unable to understand...) But this is also the 
reason why I can't get access to docs when I need them. So the real thing I 
miss in Arch is ability to mantain docs in the same easy way I mantain 
packages. I do not want too force all other people to download docs,  do not 
want too use rpm or brake other good things in Arch.
