Good, and thanks to Yihui indeed!
One note: The "cloud" CRAN server is nowadays reachable as
https://cloud.r-project.org
and that is now the preferred URL. Rstudio is currently still
paying the service -> Thank you JJ and Rstudio staff! -- but
that may not have to remain so, and the R Foundation and R Core team
are much happier to have a generic
https://cloud.r-project.org as "default CRAN mirror".
