[PRQ#68096] Deletion Request for wechat
Nan_cykup [1] filed a deletion request for wechat [2]: AUR/wechat has illegally merged[1] AUR/wechat-bin (which is much cleaner than this) and AUR/wechat-bwrap, setting "placeholder" packages[2,3] and trying to force end-users to use AUR/wechat. This maintainer also changed the package's source to "UOS system" version[4], while the official version is available from wechat's official website.[5] (while AUR/wechat-bin respects the origin) Before this user can finally figure out how dependencies work, and respect the final/original source of this software, I think we should remove this package to not break up purity for dependencies.

Request #68096 has been Rejected by Muflone [1]: there wasn't anything illegal in the merge request, both wechat-bin and wechat used the same sources until yesterday. today the maintainer has changed the upstream source to UOS, which is not illegal nor illecit. If you don't want to use the wechat package don't install it [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Muflone/
