> aur does distribute executables once in awhile.
The AUR doesn't distribute those executables; it distributes the instructions for the user (or some software working on behalf of the user) to go fetch the executables themselves. This is an important distinction, because the official Arch repositories _do_ distribute executables, directly to the user.
