All fine and good but I don't see arch being installed on something other than desktop/laptop. Of course there are niche cases as arch server I do not doubt but how much of arch install base is traditional desktop? I think it's rather high. You are missing the point. Many arch users don't simply install a desktop environment and use its defaults. If that's what you want, you may want to use another distribution, preferably one that focuses on your DE.
I use a very minimal setup without DE, and I don't want bloated catch-all solution that doesn't integrate nicely into my configuration, thank you very much.
Y'all seem to miss the point that provided on the ISO != installed on your machine. I for one, don't see a problem with networkmanager being installed on the ISO, nmtui works pretty well (as does nmcli), I'm not sure however how much the ISO size will blow up. -- Jelle van der Waa
