Probably more ahead of the game on new shiny things than Gentoo, too. Arch is the only OS that I have seen where the difference between testing and stable is about two hours.
No, really. The official process requires two signoffs on each architecture (x86 and amd64), and then they ship it.
And typically the AUR has whatever else you may happen to need, up to date as well. That was really what pushed me from gentoo to arch, maintaining portage overlays is a pain, and the official gentoo package repo never updates what packages _I_ think are important.
