I mean, it sounds like a better idea to define \CRANpkg only once in one central place, and use it in base R, instead of defining it in every single Rd file, because it seems to be generally useful (is 91 a large number? maybe).
Similarly, when it comes to an add-on package, it will be nice if the package author can define these macros in one place, and use them in his/her package. When we have to copy and paste a macro 91 times, it seems to have defeated the purpose of a macro.
