Aterm is a terminal from the past century. It doesnt even support utf8
and upstream has declared it deprecated.

http://www.afterstep.org/aterm.php reads:
"aterm is deprecated and in a maintenance mode only; there will be no further updates. Use rxvt-unicode instead."

I think it would be best if it were dropped to the AUR.
This task depends upon

Why not say "past millenium" while you'are at it?

Anyhow, I fail to see why you want it out of the repos; so long as it is maintained, it's not hurting anyone, is it?
