Is the current state of the AUR, despite the previous waves of attacks, and its troubled history, not evidence enough? The Arch team has never made the AUR a priority and I don’t see why they would start now.

The way I see it there are three possibilities:

• They do nothing.
• They shut it down.
• They give it up for adoption.

What is not going to happen is the Arch team putting time and effort into overhauling the AUR.

And you’re gonna see the Arch team wash their hands of the whole thing, like they did in the past whenever the AUR was in trouble.

That’s not real ownership.

They should find a better solution

Who’s “they”? Because it’s not Arch. Arch doesn’t want to have anything to do with AUR, and neither does any of the Arch-derived distros. They’re all perfectly happy taking advantage of it, of course, but not the responsibility.
