Well, I seem to have a fairly negative reaction on average so far...
Perhaps pragmatic would be a better assessment.
I just want to point out that if a user wants to install a rpm/deb package, all the tools are in extra/community already.
But while they're not in Community, they are labelled Unsupported. I'm just thinking of the potential for breakage that can occur when people start mixing packages from foreign distributions with those of Arch and start complaining when it doesn't work.
Since when do we assume the user is dumb?
You can always use the "Not Supported" card but if they're in Community then there is the suggestion that these mechanisms are supported.
