[PRQ#40650] Deletion Request for pacman-auto-update
Alad [1] filed a deletion request for pacman-auto-update [2]: While AUR packages are used at people's discretion, this package has the explicit aim to propagate upgrade mechanisms that *will*, possibly irreversibly, break an Arch system. As such it cannot be argued the package is useful and therefore goes against the AUR submission guidelines. See also Xyne's comment.

Request #40650 has been Accepted by Antiz [1]: Auto updating is indeed unsupported and is genuinely a bad idea as it may lead to (potentially serious) breakages. Additionally, the PKGBUILD itself does not goes along the packaging guidelines [0]. Indeed, despite the missing `-git` suffix, it's a disguised VCS package without a proper `pkgver()` function.
