I suppose some may subscribe to the view that if someone wants it badly enough, they'll submit, maintain and stick with it.
In my case, I uploaded a perfectly working package for LSI raid controllers, but someone commented that a newer version was available, I no longer use any LSI controllers and can't test that it is working correctly with the new version, I said as such, and orphaned the package only for it to be deleted within a couple hours. If orphaned packages are going to be deleted straight away I would have hung on to it. But then what is the point of their being an orphan button? There's already a delete one. It's seems really poor form to be just deleting any random orphaned packages off the AUR. Perhaps TUs that are doing this should no longer be TUs since they are clearly abusing that privilege to do things however they want instead of within the guidelines set by the community. - Justin
