[PRQ#45229] Deletion Request for virtualbox-svn
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for virtualbox-svn [2]: This has been broken and not fixed since 2021-06-11, when the virtualbox-guest-dkms-svn subpackage got removed due to the VIRTUALBOX-GUEST-MODULES having been added to the Arch Linux kernels by default. I pointed out the problem a year ago but got no response. It is not useful to keep this package in this defunct state. It is actually unmaintained; only a bot makes superfluous frequent version bumps in violation of the VCS package guildelines.

Had anyone commented at all after the breaking packaging update on 2021-06-11, I would have gone for an orphan request first. But as no one apart from me did, and as I do not need this package and there is apparently no user who wants (and is unable) to use it, I chose to submit the present deletion request.
