This sounds a bit inflammatory and over-generalised.  Presumably what you don't 
like about Arch now is the fact that it will potentially change its default 
init system sometime in the not-too-distant future?  I'd be interested to hear 
if there's anything else that has made you switch.

I'm genuinely curious about this: if you're using pacman as the package 
manager, are you building your own packages and hosting your own package 
repository, or are you using the standard Arch repositories?  If it's the 
latter, it sounds like you'd end up with an Arch system that happened to be 
bootstrapped using LFS...
