order [2]:

Dear AUR Administrator,

I am writing to request the removal of a software package from the
Arch User Repository (AUR). I believe this action is necessary and
appropriate for the reasons outlined below.

Firstly, the software in question has been deprecated. The original
developers have ceased maintaining the software, and there have been
no updates or patches for over two years. This lack of maintenance has
resulted in the software becoming incompatible with recent versions of
its dependencies, causing it to fail during runtime.

Secondly, the software has been superseded by a newer, more efficient,
and more secure alternative. The new software provides all the
functionality of the old one, but with additional features and
improved performance. It is also actively maintained and regularly
updated to ensure compatibility with the latest system updates and
security patches.

Thirdly, the presence of the deprecated software in the AUR could
potentially confuse or mislead users. Users looking for the software
might inadvertently install the deprecated version instead of the
newer one, leading to unnecessary troubleshooting and potential
security risks.

Lastly, removing the software from the AUR would help to keep the
repository clean and manageable. It would reduce clutter and make it
easier for users to find the software they need. It would also set a
good precedent for the removal of other deprecated software in the
future.

In light of these reasons, I kindly request that you consider removing
the software from the AUR. I understand that this may require some
effort and I appreciate your understanding and assistance in this
matter.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
