What does the “al” in “alarm”, the default Arch Linux ARM processor username+password stand for?

Question

ARM machines often have a default password. On Arch Linux, this is:

User: alarm

Password: alarm

I am assuming that the "arm" part of "alarm" refers the architecture, but what does the "al" stand for?

Perhaps I am completely off on my assumption.

The al part stands for Arch Linux, the arm part for ARM as you surmised.

I would have come to that conclusion over a beer down by the river. That was easy and perhaps obvious :) Thanks. – Jonathan Komar Feb 16 '17 at 8:07
