It's a policy to keep users from learning bad things. You should never
suggest --force or a package from AUR unless you attach a big fat warning,
otherwise it would mean to encourage them to do it in other (seemingly
indifferent) cases, eg. updating filesystem with --force can mess things up
pretty badly.
