Oh and also, I just notice there is still the available AUR "caelestia-shell-git" and "caelestia-shell-git", it could be a good idea to clean these up as they're very old and outdated

vcs/git packages are never "out of date" or "old and outdated" at all because when you build the package using makepkg (or with a helper like yay or paru), the PKGBUILD always pulls the absolute latest commit from the specified repo upstream
