It would be better to have a page in the installer state clearly "default install does not have full media support because legal reasons, would you like to have full media support by enabling third party repository"
also the same for DrYak

Also, Arch isn't nearly as bleeding edge as Fedora Rawhide and also doesn't receive the same automatic testing as Fedora and openSUSE does.
So, really, Arch is more of a toy distribution if you will.

There's an option on the installer of opensuse distros to add 3rd party repos.
It has a list of ready-to-click proposition that include Packman, and include the mandatory "it's 3rd party, we are not responsible" disclaimer.
It's a bit different than Ubuntu (in Suse it's during installation, in Ubuntu it's on first use), but it's still as much automated as it's legally possible for a US-owned company.
(Though I have to admit I haven't been doing brand-new fresh install of Tumbleweed recently, only updating the same eternal old installations. So maybe packman has been removed from the suggestion list ?)

As a Linux user since 1995, having used a million distributions, Tumbleweed is hands down the highest quality rolling release there is. Perhaps not for the absolute beginner, but if you know what you want and are able to do a bit of configuration there is no competition. Especially for Plasma users.
