I don't think the poster intended any insult of Tom or arch. Yes, arch was an extremely valuable project. Tom Lord is/was visionary, and his work was the critical building block that allowed the rest of the FLOSS distributed RCS tools to get started. But if you are about to create a new RCS repository today, very few people would (or should) choose arch.
I completely agree that bzr, darcs, mercurial, monotone, or perhaps even svk would have been a far better choice for that third slot in the review.
