Yes great. I'm not paid by package i maintain. Do not misunderstand my intentions, this package is more often used without gtk (subjective). It's a really useful package for debugging network issues and got it in a server is a plus. Server => no gtk => no user repository packages. This was my reasoning.
I find this a really good idea, there is no reason for mtr to require X to be running. So I suggest moving mtr-gtk into aur and having a "sane" mtr package using the cli interface (on which ARCH users are so keen :-P -- ).

Why do you suggest that? Can't we have "mtr" (which is the CLI version) and "mtr-gtk" in the repos? Just curious.
I haven't read the whole thread, but this is indeed so easy. Just create a split package mtr which builds the two packages mtr-cli and mtr-gtk. mtr-cli could then be removed from AUR.
A request for such a split package should be filed to flyspray as a bug report or feature request for the package mtr from [extra]. And the removal request for the AUR package mtr-cli would then belong to this mailing list.

+1 for Heiko, indeed just split mtr and give the user both the options. -- Jelle van der Waa
