Am I missing the reasoning that a project needs to be checked out to be archived?

In order to make any changes (archiving a project changes its state) to a project you must check it out first. There are a couple reasons for this. First you must have exclusive control over a project before modifying it (i.e. no one else is editing the project at the same time). Also, a physical archive (ZIP file) of the project is created when you archive a project. Checking out the project first ensures that you have all of the latest files on your local machine when the archive file is created.

Rick... thanks for explaining it. Support mentioned it in not so many words, but your explanation makes much sense.
