Details

I propose a new versioning system reflecting the kernel version. Like this: Arch-K2.6.18-original; interpreted as Arch Linux, (K)ernel 2.6.18, original release. Then as updated ISOs are released they could be named thus: Arch-K2.6.18-update1, Arch-K2.6.18-update2 and so on. Obviously when a new kernel is released it would be Arch-K2.6.20-original, etc. The final update before a new kernel version is used could be Arch-K2.6.16-final.

So there's no specific version of Arch except that the installer uses the latest kernel and has been updated to reflect new importnat changes but does not necessarily use a later kernel.
This task depends upon

I've changed the names to Arch-K2.6.18_original-install, Arch-K2.6.18_update1-install, Arch-K2.6.18_update2-install, Arch-K2.6.20_original-install and Arch-K2.6.16_final-install.
