You misunderstood what I meant to say. I'm not defending Arch Linux's lack of package signing, I very much understand and agree that it's necessary.

I was just saying that Arch Linux *is* a hobby OS, as you suggested yourself; it doesn't aim to be more than that.

You make it sound like package signing is the only important feature about a distro.
