There's been a good deal of discussion of this topic on the Arch mailing
list.  I'd bet that at least one interactive CLI front-end will be
available within six months.  There are already a couple of GUIs
floating around, if you happen to like that sort of thing.

Also, the tla-1.1 syntax is somewhat cleaner than tla-1.0.

The naming scheme does serve at least one purpose: it allows all
categories/branches/versions/revisions to be easily sorted.
