Hmm!  Right back.... I thought we got to here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2009-January/003648.html
which sort of says we were going to have them in the AUR along with the 
rest of the repo and just disable comments.  Anyway, I suppose this 
could be added at any time.

But given I don't want them there, I agree that we decided [community] 
does not need AUR!
