Yes, this was discussed in just the previous conversation (w/ me and wookey) I am looking for more opinions. Essentially if someone has a techincal way/solution to bypass this; or if someone on the list has had experience of working on a package that had similar reqs as shiny-server, it'd be nice to know what they did for their package.
