What does "better than secondary arch" mean to you?  I'm really 
struggling here.

We as a group have identified many of the roadblocks or pain points of 
bringing arm into primary arch.  You're suggested solution in this 
sub-thread is effectively treating arm as secondary arch, and when asked 
about this, you've avoided the question, once again, of what it is you 
expect to get out of being primary arch.

I'm really not sure how much more rational discussion we can have here.
