[arch-general] OT: "Major distributions"

Arch Linux is also about simplicity. For me, this is more important
than the rolling-releaseness and bleeding-edgeness. If Arch lags behind
Debian, that is fine by me; some things that Debian does by default I
don't like because of their complexity. Also keep in mind, once upon a
time, Debian was the bleeding edge distro; if Debian wants to reclaim
that title then more power to Debian.

I like both Debian and Arch, and I say, let's not get too stressed if Debian
is occasionally more cutting edge. It's all still Linux, and Arch can only
thrive on a little competition of this nature.
