To be more specific, I'm talking about youtube-dl. I'm currently one of youtube-dl maintainers, and I hope Arch users can always get the latest version with pacman. Unfortunately, the package in [community] gets updates slow in comparison with how youtube-dl releases new versions. AUR works, while it's not an ideal solution, as VCS packages are not updated automatically. (I guess there are some helpers for that, but still not ideal for this case)
Best,

youtube-dl gets a new release every two days, I hope you're not expecting packagers to keep up with that. Current package is one month old, that doesn't look too bad to me, especially considering that its maintainer is currently inactive.
