[aur-general] Why was xenia-git orphaned immeditately?

[Sandy Carter]

Glad to hear it wasn't intentional.
I find it very strange indeed that the system accepted the request.
I don't remember it being flagged OOD but that's on me.
Would you mind orphaning xenia-git so I can pick it up again?
It would require some rebasing of the patch branches.
