Just because something is abandoned, doesn't mean it no longer works.  And just 
because one person (until JUST NOW) has a problem, doesn't mean a packaged gets 
removed.

The proper solution is to get python-pylibzfs building so that the new 
cockpit-zfs program can be built.  THEN we can turn around and delete this 
project as obsolete, or migrate it to the new one.

I personally use this project myself.  Mostly to just monitor.  Cockpit as a 
whole can be a jank management platform.  Should we remove all of cockpit just 
because I have some problems with it?  No.  Same here.

If an upstream component is abandoned then I'd say it would be best to
delete this package from the AUR. I recall having the same issue as
user mao58912 in the comments when I was trying to install it on
Debian a while back. Attempting to install this will irreparably bork
your system. Not a good idea to keep it in the AUR at all, let alone
as flagged out of date or orphaned.
