There is no way to remove epoch, ever. I know it looks ugly for some packagers, but there is nothing to be ashamed for. We have it for a reason, and if it's been added, it stays.
I thought AUR packages were unsupported. Sure, it is nice to give them a higher version number when they are moved to the official repos to allow for a smooth upgrade, but that shouldn't be an enforced rule IMO. And removing epoch is a reasonable enough reason not to do it.
I agree with that too. And with the other arguments above this can be justified if you ask me. If we do it this way it would be easier for others to notice the change and fix their installation. Without a news people will start contacting me or on IRC how the hell they can fix arduino (as AUR will the not exist anymore).
So on one hand you say that it deserves a news post and on the other you agree that AUR should be considered unsupported. Seems contradictory?
Anyway, it looks like it could be handled with post_upgrade function. The problematic directory can be simply removed, you can also print message saying about deleting ~/.arduino15 (but guard it with vercmp please).

Alright. I will just add a note in the upgrade install file, but no hardcoded remove command which might break other packages. Can you give me an example of the vercmp? I guess I only need to print this note for pre 1.6.12 upgrades then. Thats also a good suggestion.
