No shit I think I happened to use it like right around the time it released😅

Current Arch ISO is from November 1, so you likely used the old version (unless you used pacman -Syu before you used in the installer).

Doesn't pacman Syy before installing it give me the latest version of the script when I'm in the live environment ?

No, you are never specifying to actually upgrade the package with the 'u' flag. Running pacman -Sy archinstall would upgrade the package, since it would first refresh the package cache then reinstall the latest version.

Also, there's not really a benefit to using 2 'y's but it does add some extra stress to the package mirrors, so I would avoid doing that.

It's been years since I have used it. My question is: can we finally setup some default sensible BTRFS subvolumes in the "manual partitioning" mode? Or does it still only work in the "autogenerate partitions" thingie?

Holy god damn! Why does it look so damned slick?! Arch just keeps getting better and better for everybody.
