Maybe I missed an announcement somewhere but having started with the usual

r-cran-effects (which wants MASS) in its tracks.

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MASS/
so should I be using these? Along with the other components of VR ?
Yes, see this news item:
o Bundles of packages are deprecated. See 'Writing R
Extensions' for the steps needed to unbundle a bundle.
The VR bundle contained packages class, MASS, nnet, and spatial, which
are now separate recommended packages, whose source is included in the R
source tarball, or on CRAN in
