After the pacman upgrade yesterday, it appears the force option no longer works in pacman. Is that intentional, you think?

It's not just intentional, it's with good intention as well

I wonder why?

Because it can/will break your system.

Why: You really shouldn't use --force unless you absolutely mean it and know what you are doing.

Wonder why you were using -f in the first place when it has been drilled into Arch users not to use it UNLESS specifically directed by devs (who appear to know what they are doing)
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
