Dear Duncan,

So it seems clear what to do: remove the BuildVignettes: false
statement, and explain why CRAN should avoid building them in your
submission message. This will likely make it take longer for the
package to be handled; if that's a problem for you, you probably need
to simplify the examples (or remove them).
THX, I got the idea. However, if we remove BuildVignettes: false, in the
tarball the HTML5 vignettes in inst/doc are overwritten with pandoc's
XHTML1.0 (with a warning, of course). That's the opposite of what we want.
Base R doesn't use pandoc, so you are presumably using rmarkdown or some
other contributed package. You should either get that package to modify
the way it produces the vignette, or write your own vignette building
code (which would encapsulate whatever process you are currently using).
I think the former would be easier: rmarkdown is very flexible. You
may just need to modify the pandoc template that it is using and you'll
get the format you want.

The vignettes contain code for simulations which causes the long
runtime. In examples of the man-pages we have -- much simpler ones -- in
\donttest{}. I think that one of the purposes of vignettes is to give
the user a more exhaustive description what can be done with certain
functions. The only way out would to have instead of the R-code plain
text. Runtimes close to zero but all -- rather useful -- formats lost.
We will try to keep them and start a discussion with the team.
