To summarize the TU meetings (logs have been posted...), it is about 
replacing very low usage/unused packages in [community] with those with 
higher usage in unsupported.  I.e. optimizing our resource usage. 

People with opinions on this should be discussing this in the dedicated 
thread(s) on aur-general so the discussion is easier to follow.  This 
thread is too much of a direct attack on one individual to be 
productive.  Go through all the packages with low vote on AUR and low 
usage from pkgstats and you will find that Sergej has around as many 
packages as would be expected given how many he maintains.  Has anyone 
manually checked what proportion of his low vote packages are not 
dependencies for other packages?  This need to be dealt with on a whole 
group basis, not an individual basis.
