Dear Klaus Good points. I am not trying to “poach” anything here, and guess you have discussed this, but with this number of reverse dependencies, it sounds like the maintainers, contributors and users of ape and phangorn could benefit from putting the packages on Bioconductor? >From a quick

Hi all, no real contribution to this discussion, just some appreciation to all your hard work. I just wish CRAN had something like a proper release cycle for packages. I contribute to two packages phangorn and ape, which have a decent number of reverse dependencies. So you can't introduce any

The main goal for BiocManager is to help end users ensure that their R/BioC installation is consistent for the version of R that they are using. So by definition, any packages that are outside the versions for a given R/BioC installation should be up or down-graded to make the installation valid.
