Sure, I understand the differences. 

It is simply confusing and not best practise to take a defintion from
pacman (which was first in line from my point of view) and overwrite it
with a new definition for the AUR. And then explain the users: "Well
that is how it is. An orphan can be this or that in the Arch world. You
just need to understand the context." 

I dont get why someone wants to have it that way.
