the ardour3-svn pgkbuild in AUR is basically nothing more then a simple
script which saves users who want to run from svn some typing work.
this is not an official package or whatever.
users who use this know that it is not supported by Arch and obviously,
that it builds from svn. what should probably be added is a clear
disclaimer "do not ask upstream for support on this unless you know how
to debug" or something like that.
Removing the pkgbuild (and hence just making it harder to run from svn)
doesn't solve the core problem. a warning like the one above does.
