I notice that python-sqlalchemy is about to change in [community]. Most of the packages which depend on it will need to change their dependency to python2-sqlalchemy. This is handled quite nicely for packages in the binary repositories. If you do a package search on www.archlinux.org, you'll see which packages require python-sqlalchemy. Likewise, it is easy to get a list of [unsupported] packages which require a given package from [unsupported]. However, I don't know of a way to get a list of [unsupported] packages which require a given package from the binary repositories. If it were possible to build such lists, we could contact maintainers of [unsupported] packages, in order to inform them of upcoming changes which require their attention.
As a Trusted User with SSH access to sigurd, you can easily grep all PKGBUILDs in [unsupported] for "python2-sqlalchemy" and create a list of packages that likely require it.
