[aur-general] Should I request deletion for packages in this transition period?
I'm only now looking at the AUR4 migration guidelines, and I only have a few packages so I've been uploading to AUR4 manually. However, in the process I've found old packages which I no longer use or wish to maintain. Some of which should may be deletion candidates. Of course, those all belong to me and hence aren't (yet) in AUR4. The announcement email I got stated that after August 8th all packages in the AUR will remain archived for reference. Should I request a deletion before that (for those packages which it really does not make sense to keep around) to reduce clutter, or will it really not make a difference?

No, the package request feature on aur.archlinux.org is disabled. Just don't submit those packages to aur4.archlinux.org. Regards, Lukas
