Arch (as currently used by dpkg, anyway) *does* raise an unnecessarily high
barrier. Even for those of us who can figure out any version control system
within a couple of hours.
The problem is for people like me who don't have their own 24-hour-up servers
to host arch repos on (yes, this is common). The normal workflow for this
situation (check out from upstream, make local changes, generate patch,
submit upstream; update from upstream, merge changes, regenerate patch,
submit upstream...) is made rather tedious and more complicated than
necessary by arch.
