I dont think thats gonna work since you'll have to provide the same
packages as in [core] built differently.
See for example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.tur.user/19324


Providing a set of packages that is configured/built for a different
purpose is different that providing a package with a patch not supported
upstream.


Nope, its exactly the same. The xcb cairo backend is part of the cairo
source not a patch. Cairo can be configured to take advantage of it
without messing with the xlib backend using the --enable-xcb&
--disable-xlib_xcb same as pam for example needs the --enable-selinux in
order to use selinux
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/selinux-pam/PKGBUILD

Hmm... I thought it was a a patch. Was it declared unstable/unsupported upstream then? There was something weird like that.

Anyway, I still see nothing wrong with creating SELinux packages and having them available in [community], although I would like to see a separate repo at least for the start.
