The help page for mean still says there is a method for data.frame although 
this has been deprecated for several versions and in R 3.0.0 beta I get:

  mean(data.frame(x=rnorm(10), y=rnorm(10))  )
[1] NA
Warning message:
In mean.default(data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10))) :
   argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

I read in news():

o   mean() for data frames and sd() for data frames and matrices are
        defunct.


Shouldn't the help page be amended?

Has been amended this morning by Martin Maechler, although I do not see a reply.

Best,
Uwe
