tla has another rdep, and this one can actually still be useful:
git-arch

I doubt there are many (if any) people still using Arch, but being able 
to import the history from an existing Arch repository to git might 
still be useful in some rare cases.

tla is obsolete and it is hard to imagine any reason why anyone would 
want to adopt tla, but keeping it alive as QA maintained package for
a few more years is a reasonable option.
