Valkey, a high-performance key/value datastore, will be replacing redis in the 
[extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from 
BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024[0].

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis 
package for roughly 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth 
transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period has ended, the redis 
package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point forward, the redis 
package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered 
deprecated until it is removed.

Users are recommended to begin transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as 
soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14 day transition 
window closes.
