I understand that we are supposed to be the upstream on this, but since no developer or trusted user has shown interest in maintaining these packages, why not let users do it? Things like desktop manager themes could be improved by the community. Ultimately if neither official Arch packagers or users care, those packages could just be plain removed...
I have had an email pointed out that these artworks carry our TM and we may want to consider the consequences of not controlling them ourselves.
We control the artworks, but do we also need to control the window manager themes that use them? And the packages that include them?
Anyway, I'm fine with anyone but me adopting this. :)

I'd be in favor of keeping the WM agnostic (archlinux-artwork, archlinux-wallpaper) ones in official repos for trademark reasons but I'm confortable with the Slim and LXDM ones going to AUR. Anyway: none of these 4 pakages seems to be an orphan anymore so that could put an end to this discussion :)
