As I told you in my first reply, yes, as it is the same for RcppArmadillo. The Armadillo maintainer asked me too, for the same reason, and I explained and he agreed to keep things they are. I understand the intent the of the Policy, but I am upstream here. And in these cases it is not a random small library as part of a larger package. For RcppArmadillo and RcppEigen the content of the headers is essentially the package, so I prefer to have them the way I have them packaged.
