It's true that there won't be an official project, but it doesn't mean 
there won't be any help.
People who know me will know that while I don't always have much time to 
do work, I always try to give good advice, and that is what I would also 
offer anyone who would start such a project. There will definitely be 
help and support from the dev team, but whoever decides to do this will 
have to do the actual work himself or herself. And believe me, creating 
a stable branch is lots of work - companies like Novell and rich people 
like Shuttleworth spend MUCH money on it!

That said, from my and many users' experience, Arch is very stable 
despite constantly changing. We have managed to walk the fine line 
between bleeding edge and stability/usability, and I think we have been 
doing pretty well.
