Hi all!

Recently with the GNOME 43 update I have seen that certain packages are
being removed from the AUR to go into the official testing repositories.
The problem, in my opinion, is that packages are being removed from the AUR
before they go into an official stable repository, which makes the packages
"disappear" for a while.

Not everyone has the testing repository enabled. In fact using AUR packages
is not a condition for having testing, so what a user sees is that suddenly
the package he/she was using disappears and he/she can't install it neither
with his AUR helper nor with pacman.

IMHO, I think it would be better to leave the packages in the AUR until
they reach the stable repositories to avoid possible confusion.

Greetings.
