I vote for staying with ARC format.  I think there are two reasons for it:

1. The ARC format and the programs used to handle it are widespread, and
   have been so for a long time.

2. All the archives, both personal and public are already in ARC format.

3. The wars concerning the usage of the ARC format are none of our business.
   There are working versions of both ARC and PK(X)ARC which are available
   to all people who need to use it, so why bother with these issues.
