eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for pacli [2]: ancient, unmaintained code, includes unstated dependencies on things that were moved to pacman-contrib, as well as pacman-optimize which no longer exists at all. Includes ill-advised functionality like --force'ing packages, which is user choice I guess... but the option is deprecated and will soon disappear entirely. Regardless of one's personal beliefs about the uselessness of the script, in order to be relevant today it needs a number of changes to adapt to the current state of pacman and the pacman ecosystem. ... Also it has *one* major feature that isn't just serving as a complex menu-driven alias for a single other command. And that feature is Manjaro-specific.
