There are a few packages people have installed that we have killed that show up really high on the list:

liblbxutil-84.79 % csup -44.39 % xorg-xsm-43.74 %

It might be worth posting a news item saying these packages are worthless on a modern-day Arch system (as long as you have a newer X)? I know I had some of them installed.

Hmm, is there a more generic way to handle cases like this? -Qm can help us in these cases, but considering how much people use the AUR, we need to be careful.

Don't liblbxutil and xorg-xsm become orphans when the user upgrades to that particular X version? I noticed I don't have these packages and I don't even know why (I did clean up my orphans recently, like every good user should) I do have csup explicitly installed , because it used to be in the base-devel group. I guess that's where http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8242 - "Keep track of groups and allow upgrading them with pacman -Syu" - comes in.
