This is different from the orphan in the context of a package manager. As long as you don't conflate both contexts, it's very easy to understand the differences between these orphans.

Sure, I understand the differences. It is simply confusing and not best practise to take a defintion from pacman (which was first in line from my point of view) and overwrite it with a new definition for the AUR. And then explain the users: "Well that is how it is. An orphan can be this or that in the Arch world. You just need to understand the context." I dont get why someone wants to have it that way.
