 (that conversation also pointed out that Enhances is a dependency *in the opposite direction* -- i.e. if A Enhances B, it's not entirely clear why the disappearance of B should matter at all ...)

The year old check notes in prediciton matter, not the level of any dependencies.

    Yes, but ffbase was archived a long time ago (2022-04-04) and CRAN has apparently just caught up to checking.  What's a little frustrating (to me) is that the dependence of prediction on ffbase is *very* soft ("enhances") ...
