Description:

Since grep 3.8, xdg-open brings a warning for some desktop environments (LXQt in my case):

> egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

There are two upstream merge requests. They are identical except for commit messages, and neither are merged. Apparently upstream is not working on fixing it (neither receives a comment from a maintainer/developer yet), could you consider cherry-pick the fix to the Arch package?
