Arch Linux's rolling release model is the anti-pattern for what Tim needs.
The biggest asset Raspbian brings to the table is its support of all the Raspberry Pi models, warts and all. As well, the writers of device drivers for the add-on hardware we want write them for Raspbian and their drivers migrate into the Raspbian distros.
Every other distro which has been ported to the Raspberry Pi is playing catchup.
In the time I've been dabbling with moOde, we've had a couple of intrepid souls port it to some other ARM-based SBC running a different distro (one did it on his OrangePi and as an experiment I got much of it working on a CuBox-i) but it was exhausting work and I can't imagine trying to keep the port working as both moOde and the distros moved forward.
Just my 2-cents worth.
