Every binary repo is called something in square brackets like [core], [extra], [community] etc., which are activated or deactivated in /etc/pacman.conf, but there is no repo [unsupported]. And at least I haven't found any reference on the AUR homepage to the term [unsupported]. From the user's point of view there is only AUR.
So I guess at least for new users it should be made clear somewhere in the wiki and/or on the AUR homepage that AUR and [unsupported] are the same. Or the term [unsupported] or at least the square brackets around unsupported should be dropped completely.
+1 from me. The term [unsupported] makes it look like there's a repo called that, which there isn't. The AUR and [community] are quite separate concepts these days, if you ask me, and even though they're managed by the same group of people, this isn't at all obvious from a user perspective. Pete.
