The AUR is like a community recipe book. The beauty of Arch, is we are free to grab a recipe, and adjust it to our needs, or simply make it our own. That’s hugely empowering.
The option that remains available to all of us, is looking after those non-official packages ourselves. As mentioned in another thread, there are also AUR packages managed by official maintainers, so we can be somewhat discerning.
“That one’s ok, but this one I’ll manage myself”.
