It wasn't meant to be a red-herring though. Plenty of Linux distributions have different architecture-specific package repos, and arch is a common abbreviation for architecture. This only comes up if you search for the full word e.g. "linux architecture repository" since other wise Arch Linux dominates all the search results.

A bit of a tangent...
