Also, I received an email from CRAN maintainers months ago saying
that "gdata" was being obsoleted. It's still on CRAN with a date of
2017-06-06 and a huge number of reverse dependencies. The CRAN
maintainers may have gotten someone to agree to take it over who just
hasn't finished fixing whatever deficiencies it has. However, you might
see how difficult it might be to do without "gdata" as well.

Is it permissible to copy the code from rename.vars (gdata) inside
my package with an hint:
" Function rename.vars Source code from gdata as gdata is unmaintained
since 2017-06-06 Rename variables in a dataframe
Author(s)
Don MacQueen (package gdata), macq\@llnl.gov."
it is the only function I am using from gdata.
