Not sure if anyone is actually dealing with ABS patches these days, but I would prefer just removing these prototypes altogether. VCS packages are not particularly special these days.
And yet, people are still submitting PKGBUILDs to AUR based on the old broken prototypes. And there is a lack of examples.
It's true they are not much different from regular PKGBUILDs now. The new source array capabilities and pkgver() function (just realized I forgot to add the pkgver line in the protos, will correct that if we keep those protos) are well documented on [1]. Maybe we could drop the bzr, git, hg and svn protos and keep only cvs and darcs until they are supported in pacman as well.
We could add a single prototype called PKGBUILD-everything.proto that contains examples for all special source array features in one prototype. That would make much more sense in my opinion.
