It's a policy to keep users from learning bad things. You should never suggest --force or a package from AUR unless you attach a big fat warning, otherwise it would mean to encourage them to do it in other (seemingly indifferent) cases, eg. updating filesystem with --force can mess things up pretty badly. -- Temlin Olivér
