R-devel (version as of a few days ago):

available.packages(contrib.url("http://cran.r-project.org";)); print(dim(AP)[1])'

There is a bug somewhere if another count gives 4001.
Hint: available.packages() has filters, so you are not seeing the
Windows-only packages.
Note too that the number of packages on CRAN is not monotone: packages
get added, packages get withdrawn/archived, sometimes 10s at a time.
