For me this is definitely too hard. And unfair because archlinux is a distribution (as a lot of other too) which is managed by private individual for private individual.
The devs of archlinux gives us with abs a perfect and easy understandable way to make in the most cases updates at the time we wants it. Irony on: That is why other distros with another package magagment needs fulltime maintaining.-)
And to the argument of that clamav is a "security update": This is only relevant for servers which have windows clients and in this case, sorry, this is at first the job of the admin of the server and "opps" this be you and not the maintainer of a package.
It isn't to hard. Its just the plain truth. If the maintainer hasn't the time, he should give the package to someone else, which has the time. PS: I am not an admin of some important server which needs an update ;) -- regards, TR
