The arguments made by the maintainer appear to hold up, and until
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/conky/-/issues/1 is resolved, this package does have *some* reason to exist. Closing.
Which arguments exactly? Repo package has all the features that this has. Only AUR/conky-cairo has more features than the repo package. Maintainer also said he does not disagree with the merge request, and that he acknowledges that the repo package has gained more and more features.

This feature is the one that AUR/conky-cairo addresses, but not this one. Can you give valid, concrete reasons in favor of keeping conky-lua-nv too, apart from maintainer's sentiment?
