A month ago Arch came under ddos attack. DHH and others were offering to either pay for or get Cloudflare to sponsor antiddos protection for Arch.
Instead of accepting the offers or even saying why they won't various Arch services were down for almost a month.
Then Arch published https://archlinux.org/news/recent-services-outages/ essentially saying that they are seeking ideologically pure service
I didn't see "ideologically pure" anywhere in the linked statement but what I did find was this quote:

Arch (and most FOSS Linux distributions) are highly resistant to ddos attacks.
Good luck trying to ddos their mirrors and mailing lists.
