Dear Paul
The advantage of a data-only supplementary package is that users who
live in countries where they have either a very slow connection or where
they have to pay per byte to download will be spared 5MB every time you
update your main package. I do not think the fact that you never expect
them to explicitly access the data is a worry.

Hi all,
I am revisiting this and wondering if it would be a case in which I should
submit as-is, and include justification for ignoring the NOTE about
excessive directory size.
Best,

Hi all,
I am preparing a package that makes use of several neural networks,
which are quite large. They aren't
intended for public use, so they're currently stored in sysdata.R, but
they make the R directory too heavy
(close to 5MB).
What is best practice in this case? I'm aware the general
recommendation is to set up a separate data
package that updates infrequently, but that seems undesirable since
these objects weren't going to be
exported in the first place.
Thanks for your help.
