I was also going to check whether Arch was tested by our Autobuilder.

Another idea would be to create a page on our wiki (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/), for people trying to use Yocto on distributions which are currently not supported. We could then refer to such a page from the documentation, reminding people that there is no support commitment. Or something specific to Arch would be to update https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yocto Just my two cents.
