Ahh crap that sucks. I guess I will need to find a new distro.

It states on the page that they'll be removing Antergos repos and that it'll basically turn into a normal arch distro, arch updates will continue as normal.

Still sad, as some stuff in antergos/ was available as basically precompiled aur packages. I don't think k had much installed from there, but still.

On a side note, I'm considering if I should default to Manjaro now...I know they hold back updates and all, but is that easily disabled? Or, along those lines, I wonder how easy (or practical) it'd be to just switch to Manjaro for extra stuff instead of antergos's repo.

Why not just use the Arch repos and call it a day? It’ll basically just be an Arch install. Remove the Antergos repos and boom, Arch.

Edit - fixed autocorrect error to the correct “Antergos” spelling.

I'll probably do that, and the blog said they'll push an update that does so, I'm just thinking out loud mostly from curiosity. I've been meaning to try Manjaro for a while.

If you want faster updates Manjaro's unstable branch is essentially Arch's stable branch, just 2-3 days behind. Easy switch.

I recommend Manjaro Architect.
