The point is that ABS is unmaintained, might *not* work, is *known* to
have not-worked quite recently, and will eventually be removed
altogether (at which point asp will get an official release and be moved
to extra). Whereas asp works quite well and gets you a lot more than ABS
in the process.

But mostly, because people seeking to download PKGBUILDs clearly have no
problem using AUR packages in the general sense. So there is absolutely
no need to suggest *inferior solutions* and justify them because "it's
provided in an official repo"...
