I wonder what the purpose of having arch aliases locked away is anyway.
If there are no compelling reasons, I'd prefer moving the aliases to be world-editable.

I think that is historical baggage. I'm in favor of opening it up as well, the data is public. If it becomes a problem (unlikely), it can be reverted

Arch aliases are now writable by all users.
