 Sadly that page is just the lipstick on a pig. Underneath, its still a pig.

 I think we all know that the whole of www.r-project.org could do with
a revamp and that large chunks of the CRAN infrastructure would
benefit from a redesign. But at the moment, it all kinda works, its
just a bit annoying in places, and we put up with it because the
effort to make it more functional or shiny (no, not package:shiny) is
a bit too much.

 Sometimes putting lipstick on the pig is enough...
