And we've fixed them and they're not broken any more.

Since when are we concerned by that? Our philosophy is to create the 
distro in a clean way, not to do weird hacks just to satisfy our users. 
Our userbase is very comfortable with the AUR and they have always 
installed missing and problematic applications from there. ttf-ms-fonts 
is no different, it is in the AUR (with a clean package, 
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5418).
