Not that I care about the package itself but most of the criticisms laid out are subjective. Nothing listed above is explicitly laid out in the guidelines for user-packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#Adding_you... Unless I'm missing something, /opt is intended for user programs. If you have a better idea of where it should be, I'd love to hear it, but again, not inherently a valid reason for removal.

eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for uperm [2]:
self-published shellscript with no votes. After extensively reading the source I sort of think *maybe* it's supposed to chown+chgrp+chmod a file/directory all at once, but it ha a super vague pkgdesc, unhelpful --help, and you can just use chown/chmod/chgrp directly with less bother. It definitely does not meet the guidelines for "useful to more than one person".
The main problem, though, is that this installs itself directly to /opt using sudo.
