When I ran 'pacman -Syu' today on an rpi3 Arch-Linux installation, the following question was asked: Replace linux-raspberrypi with core/linux-rpi-legacy? [Y/n] Is this a simple renaming or is this an important change impacting the system's future?

The issue is indeed mentioned in the [Open News Page](https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15688&p=68072) thread and also on [Gripes about linux-rpi rebrand](https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=15689&p=68080), although I still haven't figured out what they're planning to do. I'd suggest to wait until this blows over and see if the issue persists? – ckujau Nov 28 '21 at 21:30

Although the other answer was first, here's the relevant information from the forum:
Raspberry Pi kernel rename coming soon

In a rebranding move, we are changing the names of the two kernel packages for the RPi series of devices to more adequately represent the intended platform.
linux-raspberrypi --> linux-rpi-legacy (RPi 1, 2, Zero, Zero W)
linux-raspberrypi4 --> linux-rpi (RPi 3, 4, 400, and Zero 2 W)
Once the new packages are built and hit your mirror, pacman should automatically handle it by asking you if you would like to replace the old package with the new one. Say Y to proceed.
The full name of the thread is "Raspberry Pi kernel rename coming soon"
The link on the forum for me is this

`The requested topic does not exist.` - do you happen to know the title of the thread you wanted to link to? – ckujau Nov 28 '21 at 21:23
