I don't understand. Currently Arabi is needed for Arabic. It provides
for example the cp1256 input encoding (was former bug 2927). (And when
the user has installed arabi its files will be used. (You don't need to
call the arabi package in the preamble to use it.))
You are probably right but AFAIK, the distinction between \AR and \FR is
only useful when you specifically use ARABI.
I am only repeating here...
