i can answer to 'parabolaiso-git' - i explained on this list a few days ago that the parabolaiso was never intended to be a VCS-based release - im not sure when, but the '-git' package is a relatively recent change - it was orginally 'parabolaiso' - updates to this project should normally be so in-frequent as to make VCS-based and versioned packages essentially identical - i also mentioned that parabolaiso can now be built in-tree so there really does not need to be any pacman package for this program
https://lists.parabola.nu/pipermail/dev/2017-September/005930.html the upstream has and still does mark versioned releases and the Makefile was designed to create release tarballs - i think that parabolaiso should soon merge in the upstream changes and revert back to standard versioned release packages - or eliminate the 'parabolaiso' package entirely keeping only the 'parabolaiso-data' package regarding archiso itself, in reality im not sure there is any important reason for 'parabolaiso' to forcefully replace 'archiso' as there is no real conflict having them both installed on the same system - only if it is the case that 'archiso' necessarily installs non-free sofrtware should it actually be on the blacklist in the first place
