I had been told (by Alex Lancaster, the Fedora-maintainer of its
ESS package) that it was only for Fedora-devel; maybe my
misunderstanding.
For that reason I had only updated the web page
http://ESS.r-project.org/

[ which would have been to the ESS-help mailing list,
--> https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
not to R-help anyway. ]

I think this would make an interesting topic,
