As a former Debian enthusiast (I even helped staff a Debian booth at a conference once!) who also tends to be conservative with new technology and who is consequently also skeptical of all these random Linux distros, I eventually tried out Arch and found it ... super awesome, I really love it!
I highly recommend it to anyone else like me, who is generally cranky about new things. They did a really great job with Arch. This policy you mention is a great example of what I like about it.
