So maybe instead of : cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" we could use : cd ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver ?
that would be totally illogical. the point of using ${foo} instead of $foo is that in some cases you really need ${foo}:
source=($pkgname_$pkgver) won't work, but source=(${pkgname}_$pkgver) will. (just an example but probably you got the point). because of this, some projects (like gentoo) force the usage of ${foo} everywhere.
OT: I also enforce it in mkinitcpio scripts. It's not a bad idea, just more typing.
