I think I'm not going to add it. The 'force' option introduces some very weird behaviour from what I remember. As the rc2 package was only in testing, it shouldn't be a big deal, testing users should know what they're doing and upgrade manually.
Not sure what weird behaviour you mean.
pacman will "upgrade" from any version to this version. If a user adds a new version to his local system for testing, pacman will always "upgrade" to the older one. Considering that such a package may stay in core for quite some time, this is unexpected behaviour. If the version problem was outside of testing, it would justify adding the force flag - however, as the "problem" is confined to testing, I consider it a minor annoyance that shouldn't be worked around in such a hackish way.
Anyway, the package works and my root and four other partitions are mounted without issues, so here's my signoff for x86_64.
Great.
