It seems AUR/petsc-git also builds the release branch, just like this package. So deleting this package won't cause a loss: AUR users still can get the same 'rolling stable' version from the same branch via the latter package. (N.b. AUR/petsc-git has a misleading name, as typically a git package is for the latest development branch, not for a stable release maintenance branch. But I guess following the latter makes the built software more reliable for end-users; that is actually what upstream recommends for them.)

I have to rename this package, but I realistically have no time to maintain it, anyway.
