[aur-general] Why 'any' is not widely used in [community] ?

[Nezmer]

Hi ,
I wanted to ask about the moovida package specifically . But
then I noticed the number of 'any' packages is very small in
[community].

I know 'any' support hardly affect users . I'm just curious .

Support for 'any' architecture packages was added to the binary repos
very recently.  I suspect that you'll see more and more of them over
time, as people convert their packages.

Very recently meaning within the last week. The devs have had a little
more time with this as some of them were testing the experimental
scripts to handle any packages (which still aren't perfect)
