Since js got removed I think it would make sense to have js52 officially 'replace' it.
Else it will remain sleepin indefinitely on systems...
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  "people might not bother to remove old packages that don't do anything" is not a reason to report inaccurate information in the metadata. Those people do not necessarily need js52 any more than js, or alternatively might need js itself for their own reasons.

This also assumes arch users do not use pacman -Qdt. The same argument could be made for every package arch drops from the official repositories.
Arch still ships three js packages because they are incompatible. If a package still actually relies on js the replaces will remove it without providing a replacement.

Ok yes, makes sense.
