Give me until Tuesday, as I'm currently still on vacation with spotty internet access.

Let me know what you would do. Hmm, looking at the changes [1], I'd say (i), but that's me writing from a phone (and acknowledging that it's probably not the Arch way ;-) ). It shouldn't be too hard for them to go for a new release, but judging from their cycle I'd assume that's not any time soon (so better not go for iii). ii might lead to a new 'epoch' and other undesired side effects (instability, higher maintenance).
