course you are willing to sign up to MY view of the universe...). Building a
"legal" package out of existing code from scratch takes me less than 5 min
I agree with Kevin, I never run package.skeleton more than once. But
one advantage to running it over and over again is if you change the
names or the ordering of function arguments. That gets autowritten
and I could see that being convenient if you change those a lot (as
you sometime do in devel
The phrase that caught my attention in your post is the one about
"running package.skeleton() over and over". When I'm developing
packages, I never run it more than once. And I usually delete a lot of

Uwe,
Yes, this makes good sense. All I am saying is that it is somewhat out of
the "open-source, the user is smart and we should not _artificially force_

destined for CRAN should have anything but the fullest documentation
