Could the requester or a Package Maintainer clarify the duplicate standard
being applied here?

The deletion request says “Changing release channel does not avoid it,” but
cursor-nightly-bin also exists specifically because it tracks a different
release channel from cursor-bin. If nightly is considered sufficiently
distinct from stable, I do not understand why Cursor’s Early Access/Beta
channel would be categorically treated as a duplicate.

I agree that a package should be deleted if it downloads the exact same
upstream artifact as an existing maintained package. But if the relevant
distinction is upstream release channel, version stream, source URL,
checksum, or update cadence, then Early Access seems meaningfully different
from both stable and nightly.

I am happy to update pkgdesc, comments, and provides/conflicts to make this
clearer. But before deletion, I would appreciate clarification on why
cursor-nightly-bin is acceptable while cursor-early-access-bin is not,
assuming this package tracks a distinct upstream Early Access
artifact/channel.
