Hey,
I don't think it make any difference. Why companies should care about Arch or it's petition?
Because we are the users and we have paid for their cards! We do have the right to demand a working driver (which actually is ridiculous since you can't operate your card without a driver). I don't see any reason why linux users should be second class users. Our money is of the same worth as anyone elses. At least AMD/ATI is releasing some documentation so we can just wait until the xf86-video-ati/radeonhd become stable and suit most desktop users needs and then abandon AMDs catalyst.
