Suggesting that, because something is now popular, things should be included that have been excluded as a design choice is total nonsense. People might use Arch because it has no docs - someone might and that is what the word "argueably" means. Also, put another way, I would like to think Arch has become popular because of that philosophy, of which "no docs" is a part, not just because of pacman.
