Arch on the DistroWatch Top Ten Distributions page?

There is a discussion in DistroWatch Weekly to replace Gentoo Linux with Arch Linux on the Top Ten Distributions page :

However, if I had to single out one distribution that was the shining star of the past year, I would pick Arch Linux. Although designed for intermediate Linux users, many seem to be attracted to the idea of a "rolling-release" distribution which is installed once and kept up-to-date throughout its lifespan via daily package updates. This is, in a way, a Gentoo of binary distributions, minus extensive time required for compiling software and without the complexity of many under-the-hood features. This growing popularity of Arch Linux can also be observed by the number of Arch-based distributions and community projects that have appeared during the past year, including the excellent Archiso-live, Chakra, Kahel OS and the brand-new ArchServer. The first-ever Arch Linux Handbook was also published last year. Maybe it's time to replace Gentoo Linux with Arch Linux on our Top Ten Distributions page?

Well, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is it will probably lead to more bug reports ... probably.

The bad thing is more posts like this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87981
