the blacklist contains names of packages that are in the arch
repos - it is not exactly to say that they "must not" be
installed - it is more simply that they "can not" be installed -
those packages have been deleted from the parabola repos, and
pacman will prevent you from installing packages with similar
names from any other repos - "you must not", is simply not
possible to achieve technically

that is correct - in the end, each person must decide for
themselves what "i must not do" - 'your-freedom' is only a guide
- it works only if the user is diligent, to avoid getting any
software from a third-party, and use only software from
parabola, installed with pacman
