There is a central assertion to this argument that I don't follow:

This is a very strong assertion. What is the evidence for it?
If I've understood Jeroen correctly, his point might be alternatively phrased as
"won't be reproducED" (i.e., end user difficulties, not software availability).

That was my point as well. Of the 30+ Sweave documents that I've produced I can't think
of one that will change its output with a new version of R. My 0/30 estimate is at odds
with the "nearly all" assertion. Perhaps I only do dull things?
