I am ok with removing it. But I would like if more people give opinion.

Because:

1) Its just a guideline, not every maintainer will follow it.

2) Maintainer can add one more point in guideline: to "delete" his older 
update comment when new update is uploaded.

3) I think commenting about update will involve more people and bring 
awareness that the AUR package is active and not orphaned.


Please think over point 2, If maintainer follows guideline and posts 
update comment, he will also delete older update comment.

If maintainer does not follow guideline, no need to delete anything either!

Both ways, comment system will remain clean.
