Plenty of Linux distributions have different architecture-specific package repos, and arch is a common abbreviation for architecture. This only comes up if you search for the full word e.g. "linux architecture repository" since other wise Arch Linux dominates all the search results. A bit of a tangent...

Is it a CPU architecture? Is it Arch Linux? If you search for "arch repository", nothing relevant comes up. Let's call it GNU Arch so people can find it with search engines.
