This is my sentiment too. I've never needed Silver/Moon-light for anything. I even used to use it for work at my last job, but I never needed to visit those sites in Linux. That said: the recent US Inauguration was broadcast with Silverlight, so it is seeing some use. I will echo Thomas' point: I don't care, but if I need to care at some point, pacman -S moonlight would be great. +1 for inclusion as long as you have the desire to maintain it.
