[aur-general] Is it okay to mark broken packages out-of-date on AUR?

yes, exactly. Just consider the 'arch-haskell' user, which owns
some 2,000 packages. The "My packages" list for that user is
spread out over 80 separate pages! It's impossible for me to log
into AUR and locate those packages that need maintenance by
checking the comment sections of 2,000 packages. 

Packages that are marked out-of-date, on the other hand, have an
index of their own, so those are way easier to find.

Take care,
Peter
