MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mesa-steamos [2]:

Submitter has disowned this personal fork of mesa,
which is now broken, unbuildable.

It uses this fork's "radeonsi-3.4.0-2" release tag from Dec 14, 2022.
[a]

Submitter's GitHub fork has not been updated since March, 2023, [b]
and the same is true for this AUR package.

Earlier, back in June 2023, I've submitted deletion request PRQ#43239
[c] for this, for which former owner replied with a lengthy feedback
about their rationale and plans for this package. So I've revoked that
request.

But nothing happened since that time, other then their disowning the
AUR build.

Best to delete, no usefulness, fork not maintained, fails to build,
and name is confusing as well. *

(* SteamOS 3 is Valve's fork of Arch Linux, but it is customized
further for the Steam Deck hardware, and the latter's OS is sometimes
called 'Steam Deck OS'. The two are not the same. But submitter
intended 'mesa-steamos' to target the 'Steam Deck OS' only, which is
actually an old version of Arch Linux, not compatible with current
Arch Linux toolchain and runtime versions.)
