Maybe this is the problem: some people (including me) might think that
perfect security is not a priority. The people from Debian see it this
way:

    security > functionnality > simplicity

I see it the other way around:

    simplicity > functionnality > simplicity

Meaning: I prefer something that is simple and insecure. I am OK with
more security if it doesn't make Arch tools overly complex. Otherwise,
because Arch is a desktop (as opposed to server) distribution, it is
just not worth it.
