Taking the same example as above, if you have any nVidia card pascal or older, you have no other choice than using AUR for your driver; it was literally advertised as such on the Arch Linux home page :
>Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support:
> Install nvidia-580xx-dkms from the AUR
And those are packages very difficult to thoroughly review. At some point, just saying "users have been warned, too bad" might hold from a _legal_ point of view, but I feel like it is deflecting the blame a bit too much.
