MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wpa_supplicant-killer [2]:

Dummy package which disables the functionality of any and all
dependents which explicitly rely on wpa_supplicant being installed.

This kind of dummy package is harmful and should not exist on AUR.

Users who wish to eliminate wpa_supplicant should install alternative
packages that do not rely on it.

Requests for Arch to carry iwd-dependent alternatives of
e.g. NetworkManager should discuss those proposals on
bugs.archlinux.org.
