Is it for real or is it an error?
I know that you should merge pacnew files first, I'm fine with the move, but something tells me we're going to see many users baffled by pacman throwing never-before seen errors. Not that I mind Arch being a less hand-holding distro and actually requiring common sense ;P
Did you test it re. "never-before seen errors" or did you look at the .pacnew files? https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/pacman/ has a link "View Changes", which points to a commit by dreisner: upgpkg: pacman 4.0.1-4 - disable sig checking by default http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/pacman&id=d2e1fdaeb778c08e7be9da54602778a88ab7c792 -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos
