Arch Linux - Must Install 'Eject'?

Ok, I've been working on my Linux skills a little bit and installed ArchLinux which installs to a CLI environment and I have to basically build the system from the ground up.  If I want a media player, I have to install it (using pacman... not 'Pac-Man', it is for 'Package Manager').  If I want my computer to use screensavers, I have to install the screensaver program...  Now this was a little bit crazier, if I would like to be able to eject the CD tray via the physical button on the device or through the software on the computer I have to install 'Eject'. Wow.
