I think Xorg now uses libinput as default as opposed to prior versions. I have been using libinput any ways since it was made available, so the transition didn't affect me, and besides I'm OK with the tapping offered by libinput. Actually I removed totally the xf86-input-synaptics package from my Arch boxes already. You can take a look at the install message:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/xf86-input-synapt...
I saw that message while upgrading a couple of days ago. xf86-input-synaptics driver is on maintenance mode and xf86-input-libinput driver must be prefered over. But I didn't understand what "must be prefered over" means (grammar error). You suggested that libinput is the default now. That would make more sense. So is this a warning of some sort, or is it a notification to try to encourage people to switch to libinput? Does switching break any older desktop environments? (e.g. MATE, Window Maker) --Kyle
