More likely, It's a matter of time vs. gain for a small number of volunteers. If you're a user who knows that they want a particular exotic filesystem that isn't widely used, you the user, on this very day, have the following exciting options including but not limited to: 1) dont use AIF. not to sleight Dieter, but there's more ways to install Arch than just by using AIF. 2) format and mount the partitions yourself, convince AIF that this has been done, and continue installing as you like, with AIF. I've done this before with btrfs, as have others. 3) use Archboot, which supports a wider range of packages.
