This was mentioned a few days back on this mailing list, too.
What's your point?

To get access to the latest official PKGBUILDS ABS works and it could
be installed from Extra. There's no need to build something from AUR.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep pkgver /var/abs/core/linux/PKGBUILD |
head -1 pkgver=4.10.8
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep pkgrel /var/abs/core/linux/PKGBUILD |
head -1 pkgrel=1
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si linux | grep Version
Version         : 4.10.8-1

Again, I'm not against asp, but why not simply installing ABS from
extra at the moment, instead of asp from AUR?

I don't get your point. Why do you make such a big off-topic discussion
out of it?
