After recently being converted to the excellent Arch distro of Linux I'm slightly saddened to read the following announcement:

http://www.archlinux.org/ (item in pink)

While I understand that the majority of Arch users are German speaking, I also can't help thinking that this move will only hinder the distro from gaining more "market share" (for want a better term).

While there are hundreds of other distro's available, Arch was the only one (aside Slackware) I've liked: it's package manager was simple and effective, it used BSD style init's (I've never agreed with Linux's excessively complex run-time modes). But despite all the simplicity, it never felt 'dumbed down' (like the more 'mainstream' of desktop distros can do â€" particularly Ubuntu), it's free from bloat and highly configurable.

Not being a German speaker, I feel my support is going to be somewhat neglected.

What are your thoughts Arch or distro langauges in general?
