I propose keeping the readline rebuild in testing until the
AUR/community move is done. So we could do the community readline
rebuild (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15165) in the new
community-testing repo then move everything to core/extra/community
once it's done.

 If we go this way, I suggest doing the move  very soon (this week or
next week) as we want to complete the readline rebuild so we could
start the massive libjpeg rebuild. The timing of the AUR/community
move couldn't be better.
