While I am not that sarcastic I also wonder. As they are efficient well
organized people I expect they will have specified a reason for a new distro,
as Arabic support is not the (sole) reason and identified their target.
Probably they want to make it as small as possible (for a live CD for example)?
I am really interested to know the reason.
