I disagree, optdeps from the AUR would seem to be supported except that
they are not. So it would be a lot better to just move those packages to
[community], which is faster and easier for users.

Yes

P.S. I noticed that for ansible you already started mentioning the AUR
in optdeps. Why start implementing it before we actually came to a
solution?!
