But manual Arch installation is really more like "teaching a man to fish" -- and in that way is the opposite of gatekeeping. Anyone with the curiosity and patience gets to have their hand held through a learning process with all of the intricacies explained and context given for the user to make their own decisions along the way. That said, I welcome the installer option as well. Once you've been through the manual process a few times, it becomes less about the journey and more about the destination.

That would be the case if they hadn't thrown out the beginner's installation guide. What they have now is completely generic and largely useless for anybody who needs some amount of guidance or explanation. The current guide is basically throwing somebody into the deep-end and saying "here's this wiki page on how to swim, have fun". I pretty much gave up on Arch entirely after that fiasco.
