Your findings are also reflected in the wiki [1] and I would say drop
it. But it is required by kodi-eventclients for
kodi-eventclients-wiiremote component, which you will have to remove.
Anyone using Kodi with a Wiimote will lose functionality, but they can
check if Xwiimote works as well for them.

[arch-dev-public] Phasing out cwiid

[David Runge]

Hey all,

I'd like to phase out cwiid [1] (as it's super old and unmaintained).
Currently it's an optdepends for supercollider, but its use will be
deprecated in the next version [2], so I will remove it there
eventually.

The only other packages depending on it are kodi (make) and
kodi-eventclients.
However, is it really required there?

For now, I rebuilt cwiid, but I guess it could be dropped midterm, if
it's not a hard requirement for kodi et al.

Best,
David
