Is the current state of the AUR, despite the previous waves of attacks, and its troubled history, not evidence enough? The Arch team has never made the AUR a priority and I don’t see why they would start now.

The way I see it there are three possibilities:

  • They do nothing.
  • They shut it down.
  • They give it up for adoption.

What is not going to happen is the Arch team putting time and effort into overhauling the AUR.
