But oder hardware is still functional. So I object this deletion request. Maybe an update in the `$pkgdesc` is suitable, so reflect that "only older Wacom tablets are supported".

Hello, @dreieck, I see your point. In that case, however, wouldn't it be better to keep AUR/wacom-utility-git [1] instead? The stable package is from 2011, whereas the git package builds from a maintenance fork GitHub repo by @lubosz that is not archived, and whose last commit is from 2019. It seems to me that the latter code has more hardware support coverage than the EOL stable version from 2011. I have submitted a deletion request for wacom-git too, but I can revoke that if you want to keep it. Cheers, Marcell / MarsSeed [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/wacom-utility-git

If `wacom-utility-git` is more up to date and also still functional, I am willing to take over that and drop `wacom-utility`. I have not tested `wacom-utility-git` yet.
Request #70024 has been Rejected by Muflone [1]: as long it works there's no reason to delete it [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Muflone/
