 Arch is designed to be easy to build and highly portable (at least
 among unix environments).

 Building-your-own enables keeping up with latest improvements

 Your revctl system is "essential infrastructure" --- if you can
 rebuild arch from sources on-demand, that's one less binary you are
 dependent on just to get anything done.
