I'm not using it with sudo, in fact I'm not using it at all, I'm just opinionated.
But I tested what I thought would break and it's not as bad as I thought.
Because cloning really does make basically a new installation, upgrading Anaconda via the AUR does not mess with the existing clone. Though it would still make me wary.
Also, making a clone is essentially a completely separate installation not tracked by pacman, one which will not be updated when the AUR package updates. So it doesn't break, but you're also not gaining anything from using a package manager. It's even in your home directory (I didn't realise this).
Ok, maybe it's not so bad having this as an AUR package. It is still pretty odd, but I can see it might be a good workflow for some.
