Back to the topic of this package, I am observing a bit of a mixed / confused 
standard.

Many times you said if a package is not broken, it can stay. Then when my 
additional message stated that this is indeed broken, you said I didn't  say 
how it is broken. But I did say what are the reasons behind it.

And I'd like to point out that we are talking about an AUR package that has 0 
votes or comments, and which had violated VCS package guidelines f8r68 years by 
not declaring its provides & conflicts, and only I gave feedback to maintainer 
about it a few months ago, for which in response they made the package worse 
than it was, and also pushed a defunct update.

I do think that we also have to keep in mind the part of the AUR submission 
guidelines that say that packages here should be useful to more than a few 
people, and evaluate if this particular package is usable or not and in demand 
or not by fellow AUR users.

Otherwise if you always favor the maintainers, even if they keep their unused 
and unusable pet packages on AUR for themselves only (or not even for 
themselves, in case of defunct PKGBUILDs), then the AUR will just accumulate 
more spammy mess as opposed to functioning builds that are well-attended.
