a new release on the stable branch, no big surprises. Plans are quite clear for an early preview of the development code, now I just need to find some time to actually put some code in it :-)

regarding arch being more centralized than subversion, it's rather the opposite :-) First, unless Gna! forces you to do so, more than one person can commit to an arch repository. The development pattern you refer to is the one where there is an "official" tree, which collects patches from other trees. Note that anyone can start a mirror of your tree, or a branch with local fixes which is kept in sync with the official tree. The difference with subversion is that these people can also see their changes be merged in the official version with no problem (ie they won't see their patch be applied a second time to their own branch when they update from the official tree for instance).

So you can imagine multiple topologies depending on your needs. For instance if you have many small contributors and a few more regular developers, you might imagine having a first level of integrators that take the contributions, and you only merge from those.
