After all if you look at the wiki link AndyRTR is listed at the people willing to help. A sidenote: The official replies eg. from phrakture, that a stable branch will not ever be part of Arch come mostly because noone has done it yet. If a group of people who are willing to do this devote time and whatever else is needed and there is adequate demand, and if such a project actually matures it *might* be part of Arch at some point. A bright example for the above is the x86_64 Archlinux branch. AndyRTR felt the need to do it. Other people helped, and got official afterwards. But it didnt start as an official project either. Thats how things work. I dont know if its mentioned in the wiki page, but its part of the Arch Way. -- Greg
