Slim had a decent sized update about 2 weeks ago, it started

certainly not dead.

Hi,
rEFIt is no longer maintained upstream and its author

everyone to switch to rEFInd instead, at

So
please delete AUR refit

With Best Regards,

I am not a TU, so this is not an official set of logic, but if the
sources
still exist (even if it has been deprecated or is no longer
maintained), I
see no reason for the package to be removed unless there is a
specific and
blatant security flaw. For example, SLiM is still in the official
repos
despite maintenance largely being dead and many other packages being
considered preferable.
If people would like to continue using rEFIt, despite rEFInd's
superiority, I don't see the inherent issue.
All the best,

Well, in this case rEFInd is a fork of rEFIt which provides the same
features and probably more, and is actively developped. I don't see why
people would prefer rEFIt over rEFInd, but that is just my opinion. I
would personally remove refit, but I guess it doesn't harm the AUR for
now.
What do other TUs think?
Cheers,
