Configuration directive 'pool' introduced in 2.0 demands a domain that resolves to IP addresses which doesn't apply to 'arch.pool.ntp.org' stated in chrony.conf on Arch.

Could be solved by using any of [0-3].arch.pool.ntp.org.

Another possible solution would be to have arch.pool.ntp.org resolve to IP addresses. Not sure whether this is desirable, though:
There doesn't seem to be some kind of common approach regarding direct subdomains of pool.ntp.org. Among the vendor domains I checked none of a Linux distribution ({arch,debian,fedora,openwrt}.pool.ntp.org) but all country-specific ones ({de,es,fr,gb,it,au,us}.pool.ntp.org) resolved to IP addresses.
Also, I don't know where an eventual suggestion regarding arch.pool.ntp.org should best be made.
This task depends upon
