Hi all!

Recently with the GNOME 43 update I have seen that certain packages are being removed from the AUR to go into the official testing repositories. The problem, in my opinion, is that packages are being removed from the AUR before they go into an official stable repository, which makes the packages "disappear" for a while.

Not everyone has the testing repository enabled. In fact using AUR packages is not a condition for having testing, so what a user sees is that suddenly the package he/she was using disappears and he/she can't install it neither with his AUR helper nor with pacman.

IMHO, I think it would be better to leave the packages in the AUR until they reach the stable repositories to avoid possible confusion.

Greetings.
