Pacman repositories configuration transition from Artix-only to mixed Arch access

Artix Linux maintains independent system, world, galaxy and lib32 repositories rebuilt without systemd dependencies since the 2017 fork. The distribution ships OpenRC, runit and s6 ISO editions without a project-designated default. A documented compatibility boundary exists with Arch Linux core and extra packages that assume systemd.

Enabling Arch repositories in pacman.conf is documented as unsupported because many Arch packages have hard systemd dependencies that conflict with Artix's systemd-free base. The artix-archlinux-support package provides optional Arch repository access marked as experimental, and the gremlins repository signals an ongoing transition for packages not yet ported to systemd-free alternatives. The rolling-release nature means the boundary can shift with updates.

What is the current official recommendation for using Artix repositories together with Arch Linux core and extra? Is artix-archlinux-support considered experimental or supported for production use? How does the project define the compatibility boundary for packages with hard systemd dependencies?
