"No" (for non-technical reason):
For me it looks like  an encouragement or even invitation to use AUR
directly, which -- in an ideal world -- should be avoided (see
kpcyrd's letter above).

"Yes" (for non-technical reason):
Newcomers will use AUR anyway, so it's a good opportunity to educate them a bit.

> users not aware of the risks, should be clearly informed of the "dangers"

For me "cleary informed" means not just using general non-informative
waringns "not officially supported" and "use at your own risk", but
some explanations like in the mentioned kpcyrd's letter. I.e. users
should be aware of all that .so dependency business and Python
troubles, and understand that they do not use Arch Linux anymore, but
some kind of their own "Arch Linux downstream" distribution.

Importance of paru's "localrepo" and "chroot" features (and similar
features in other helpers if/when they will be added to archinstall)
should be explained too.

"I don't care":
I customize ISO (because I need ZFS kernel modules up and running), so
I already have AUR helper on it just in case:) And it is not really
needed anyway, because I use local repository (at least, for packages
which are important for me) to avoid troubles with dependencies.
