"Architecture = auto" causes issues on any system where the kernel is not built for the same architecture as the packages (waves hand as someone who cannot use it...). "Architecture = none" causes no restrictions on the system setup so is the default.
'Architecture = auto' is the common case, so it should be the default (and actually, the default configuration file contains it). 'Architecture = none' is a rare corner case that virtually nobody will need, so it should not be the default. Just my 2 cents on sane default values.
I agree with Thomas here; the common case should be the default; not the rare corner case. At least on Arch you don't have mixed architectures anyway. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
