The policy that you suggest would indeed be completely stupid. Fortunately, a reasonable policy that vaguely matches the current practices is likely to affect hardly any documentation files. I don't have a strong opinion as to whether publishing characteristics of references should be a consideration during the composition of R documentation files, and I trust the R developers to decide well. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
