But I think you are overreacting.
There are no stone plates, its just useless Sisyphos work without any real value. A VCS package should be considered to possibly always have a new version, no need for a ranger to periodically bump those just to possibly satisfy shitty AUR wrappers that maybe don't have something like a --devel option. I don't think its worth trying to comfort all AUR wrappers in the way a PKGBUILD is handled. I have seen too often including horrible hacks here and there because one wrapper does or doesn't do X or Y and fails.Its not as harmful because at the end its just a different pkgver but the conclusion is the same: No gain other then to satisfy AUR wrappers. Therefor my personal opinion is to avoid that all together no matter if you think that it is overreacting or not.
