MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for lib32-schroedinger [2]:

This 10+ year old library is not needed anymore. (Actually the major
release v1.0 is from 2008.) Even Arch has orphaned it. Current
FFMPEG/libavcodec source includes a better alternative of the Dirac
codec (which is Schroedinger's purpose as well). But FFMPEG's code has
been maintained and improved since. (Its current Dirac codec actually
is based on an improved version called SMPTE VC-2, previously known as
BBC Dirac Pro.)

For its only AUR dependent, lib32-ffmpeg-semifull-git, I've already
submitted a deletion request, since that is completely dead, with 15+
missing dependencies. (And that package is not needed anyway, as there
are working and up-to-date lib32-ffmpeg AUR packages.)
