Please forgive me for playing devil's advocate here, but I see that
many of you are strongly opposed to adding an AUR helper to archinstall
because “AUR packages shouldn't be in official repositories,” and yet
we have aurpublish [1] in the extra repository.

In my opinion, having some AUR helpers maintained as extra packages
(such as paru or yay, which are the most widely used) is just like any
other package maintained in the extra repository, and having them there
would certainly make life easier for many users, since they wouldn’t
face the chicken-and-egg problem when they start using AUR.

I think a simple notice stating that this is no longer supported and
that you use it at your own risk is sufficient. Ultimately, it’s about
making life easier for the user.

Greetings.
