I hope you don't mind if I reply: 1. Pointing users to a helper tool which produces non-working output is counter-productive and a slap in their face. I tried many times to convince Duncan Murdoch (who, while an R Core member, would at least at times listen to proles like myself). I failed, and all I could do is write pkgKitten. But this is, as the saying goes, "a hill I willing to die on". What R does here is wrong. 2. Your critique is valid, but I have neither carrot nor stick to push on. In my mind R CMD check could (and should !!) check for this not-replaced-stanza text. But you know how it goes about changes in CRAN / R Core. 3. You list several packages. One is mine. It should not even exists if R Core was not so paranoid about about their API. Another is one I helped with so guilty as charged. 4. You list six packages. Rights now Rcpp has 1460 reverse dependencies. I take six out of 1460 (surely upward biased as not all use package creators) if it means the first point above is taken care of.
