This isn't entirely true, Arch still has custom patches for certain packages and some undergo a decent bit of customization before getting pushed out. The biggest difference with Ubuntu (and Debian) is that they vet the packages for a much longer period of time and have a whole lot of politicking and red tape involved in getting the packages even pushed into the unstable / proposed repository.

Just to clarify: i know Arch does some customization, but certainly not as much as Ubuntu. Arch also heavily relies on configuration files while I rarely edited a config file in Ubuntu. Presumably, it takes a longer time to adapt the GUI config tools in Ubuntu when new options are introduced.
