I don't care what some AUR helper does. Most of them are broken, and none of them are pacman so pacman does not care.
The only non-broken AUR helper I know of currently, is aurutils. Coincidentally, aurutils doesn't accept -S with or without arguments -- it does not wrap pacman at all.
Empty is like 0: mathematics allows 0.
Erm, what. This is nonsense.
I made a pull request to pacman on github to make the error a warning instead.I don't know where you submitted some pull request, because the pacman project is not on github. It's possible third-party entities have uploaded a copy of the pacman source code to github, but that's really quite meaningless since they -- per definition -- could not merge it and expect that to affect the pacman project itself.
Anyway, if you did submit it to the right place in accordance with https://archlinux.org/pacman/submitting-patches.html#_submitting_your_patch then I don't see it getting accepted. I for one am against it.
