Remove Packages xfce4-gtk3 and xfce-gtk3-goodies groups (2019)

Hi,
on Manjaro’s repos there are a lot of xfce packages under the groups xfce4-gtk3 and xfce-gtk3-goodies that should be removed in my opinion, because they are old versions from 2019

you must have aur enabled, those are not in the standard.

All these packages are in our extra repos and flagged as meta-transfer-pkg. The packager is @philm

Hi
same issue on my KDE laptop
I’m sure its not Aur related



I think they must be removed or replaced witth XFCE 4.17 (developement version)

Forgot about those. There were 18 related packages:

 - unstable extra x86_64:  0 new and 16 removed package(s)
 - unstable community x86_64:  0 new and 2 removed package(s)

Thank
It was so weird for a rolling release to have 3 yeard old packages

Also, could the team cosider to add some additional xfce package?
Like the places plugin and the new taskbar with windows preview (on the AUR, but it could be cool tho have a improved XFCE experience on the main releases)

change in components in xfce ist not easy :
standard version name i xfce-xxxx ( current ) for Archlinux DE

as dev xfce is very long term , arch - manjaro always use xfce-gtk3 ( and not gtk4 ) for version dev until very good stable , after that , theses components are no more required ,
it means that all version xfce-xxxx-gtk3 are naming xfce-xxxx with depending on modules

it you checks orphans , you will get theses package gtk3
( sudo pacman -Qdt )
