### Pruning unsupported packages
75+
76+
In some cases we decide to drop packages from the repositories, for example
77+
because they are outdated, unmaintained or have been replaced by a better
78+
alternative. If you've installed them previously then they will stay installed
79+
but wont get updated anymore. To find such packages you can run:
80+
81+
```console
82+
$ pacman -Qm
83+
```
84+
85+
It might be a good idea to remove them, or look for alternatives if you still
86+
need them.
