Just a query: Why were packages i added to AUR4, ensured were in good
working order (and made an enhancement to one of the packages compared
to the last release on AUR3), know are used by at least some users,
and then orphaned so some other interested party can take over
maintenance, were deleted from AUR4?

compiz-gtk-standalone was actually the ONLY package on AUR4 that
provided the Compiz 0.8 series core component.
Since it's deletion there is now at least one package on AUR4 that has
unresolvable dependencies.
(eg. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm/ )
