Other people _are_ trying to use them, which is what drew them to my
attention in the first place. You say you were (are?) going to update
them, but you were the previous maintainer of at least two of these
packages[1][2], and pacman 4.2 came out nine months ago and you still
haven't updated them. How much longer is it going to take? Uploading a
broken PKGBUILD is bad enough, but then leaving it in a broken state
for months on end is even worse.
