Review Comment:
   > I thought a reason you put this in the regular test suite is so that they 
would run in local dev if you had the packages installed. 
   
   Yeah exactly 
   
   > But I won't have this env var set locally. Should this check NOT_CRAN 
maybe?
   
   This function is a little indirect: if you have the package installed, 
regardless of setting the envvar, it will run. If you have the envvar set and 
you don't have the package installed the tests will fail. If you have not set 
the envvar (or if it's false), and you don't have the packages installed, the 
tests will be skipped. This way in most CI setups we will silently move on and 
not need to install these packages, but in the one job where we want to ensure 
we are running, we can confirm that positively.
