Hi, I wrote to the ex-mainteiner of input-wacom ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45001) asking if it's safe to remove this out-of-date and orphan package. Here's his answer:

How should we deal with out-of-date packages that maybe someone still use? (Question extended to kde3, xfce4.x - with x lesser then 8 and gnome2 related packages) Cheers, Edu -- *If you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything.* ArchLinux and Gnome* *user // Linux and Free Software believer // LugCR* * member.
