It seems I overreacted and hijacked my own thread.

I also made several mistakes and may have (unintentionally) offended people.

I apoligise to all posters in & readers of this thread.


There are decisions that need to be made, but I'm the one that needs to 
make them , not TUs.

I do need to do some serious thinking and will keep radiosilence during 
the thinking.


Some unfinished business :

Robin, you do have a valid point about lone_wolf-* not being good 
package names.

If my creativity is not enough to chose good names, I should ask help 
with picking names instead of choosing bad ones.


The question this thread started with is still valid

Are AUR VCS packages that depend on AUR VCS packages from other projects 
a good idea and who should decide on that ?

I have some serious thinking to do
