You're right. A lot of open source software does have that no guarantee, no liability disclaimer. Maybe it should be made more obvious.
Anyways, Arch Linux isn't bound by any unwritten or unspoken contracts saying that it must deliver a certain level of support after reaching a certain popularity. If you want that support, then go a head and contribute the resources. I really don't forsee the distro signing any support contracts though.
I'm not talking about contracts. But regardless of any contracts developers shouldn't ignore user's comments and opinions. I'm just talking about such an ignorant and sometimes arrogant behaviour of some devs which is seen sometimes in flyspray and on the mailing list. This makes using a distro and contributing to a distro no fun. And I haven't seen such an ignorance in other distros, yet. That's the point. Heiko
