Dear Matplotlib gurus,

Following the code to demonstrate recent(ish) fix for whiskers in boxplots:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1855 I have compared it against
R's boxplot.  Description seems to correspond, and all the percentiles are the
same in numpy and R (3.0.1) but R's boxplot seems to have extended IQR box and
still have an upper whisker (corresponds to 9000, which is not within
75%+1.5*IQR), when it shouldn't:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/www.onerussian.com/tmp/boxplot-Python-vs-R.ipynb

is R's plot incorrect or am I missing something (e.g. documented feature
in R's boxplot) warranting such a difference?

Thanks in advance
