Spyhawk [1] filed a deletion request for pacaur [2]: This package has been deprecated one year ago, and it also depends on the obsolete cower. Most users have moved to other maintained projects by now. I don't see any reason to let new users install it, so it's time to go to the next stage and remove it from the AUR. Existing users that haven't moved yet will get another warning when upgrading. This should tip them off in case they haven't noticed the deprecation warning.
