Some other distros (opensuse, ubuntu, fedora at least) use 'common-auth' (and probably some other 'common-*' files) in /etc/pam.d/, which are then included in the particular pam files. Hence all pam files are consistent. On the other hand, if you need more fine-grained control, you need to edit and consolidate more files than with the current arch setup. [I like arch's system better, but who cares about that :)]
