Well, it implies either 2help or help^2, right? In this case, it seems oddly appropriate, as really needing help getting packages is sort of greater in a "need hierarchy" than coding help, as the latter is largely useless without the former.
At one point, I seem to recall discussion of whether there was use for a sort of "beginners" R help and a more "advanced" one (part of the discussion was that R-devel is kind of advanced), but perhaps there is implicit sorting, by virtue of subjects, yes, even one as simple as "Help" as that allows seasoned veterans to distinguish a new asker from someone who has been through the ropes here many times.
