Re: I'm not happy with the new Arch changes
Anyway I think the 200XXX tag despite showing only on the ISO name will still lead the most inexperienced/release oriented users to think it's a static release.
Well, we can't help that users that cannot read.
"arch.iso" was my suggestion, but the real good one would be: "arch_is_a_rolling_release_distro.iso"
That's very bad idea, because when users will report bugs in installation procedure, we'll must to ask them which timestamp their .iso have (they may download it from outdated mirror).
And the worst thing with arch.iso name is that it breaks distribution via BitTorrent.

That's right, didn't think about the BitTorrent issue. As I said it was the most radical aproach, seldom the best one for all purposes.
Then again, I'm really glad with the coming scheme.
