[aur-requests] [PRQ#18055] Deletion Request for uperm

[Dmitri McGuckin]

Not that I care about the package itself but most of the criticisms laid
out are subjective.

Nothing listed above is explicitly laid out in the guidelines for
user-packages:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#Adding_your_repository_to_this_page

Unless I'm missing something, /opt is intended for user programs. If you
have a better idea of where it should be, I'd love to hear it, but again,
not inherently a valid reason for removal.

All the best,
Dmitri McGuckin
