Hello,

 i've noticed this meanwhile quiet often after many installations.
 Currently after a test with 2008.03-0.3, but also with older ISOs:

 After install and first reboot i got such fsck notice during rc:

 ,----
 | /dev/sda3: Superblock last mount time is in the future. FIXED
 | /dev/sda3 has gone 49710 days without being checked, check forced.
 `----

 Here¹ you could download a screenshot from such a situation where also a
 reboot is required after fsck.
 Cause this is the *first* reboot after installation users will get a bad
 impression about Arch.
    

Oh noes! We couldn't ever have a bad impression! We might lose a user!
</sarcasm>

Feel free to submit a patch against the installer (it is all in GIT on
projects.archlinux.org), but justifying this problem by saying it
gives a bad impression is not something that is going to make devs
jump out and fix it- if anything it might bring out the cynical side
as you can see above.

Or maybe he (and others) could not be anymore interested in testing your (our) distro.

As I had understood, Gerhard intended only to point a minor nuisance.
Something that he, maybe, have not the technical expertise (or time) to patch.
I think he means you (or other devs) could try to fix it if you like it (have the time for, judge it worth doing, etc).

Linux users used to be a community ...
