Passing table the output of model.frame would still allow the use of a

Fair enough, this qualifies as a workaround, and IMO this is how xtabs
should handle it internally to allow writing xtabs(~data, na.action =
na.pass) -- or at least xtabs(~data, na.action = na.pass, exclude =
NULL) if backward compatibility is desired. Would anyone with write
access to R's SVN repo care enough about this situation to review a
patch? Thanks.

All this is irrelevant. Whatever my OS, and whatever the documented options are, if I explicitly say I don't want interactive behaviour by specifying ask = FALSE, then R stopping to ask me things feels like incorrect behaviour. Since there seems to be resistance to making any changes to the behaviour, for future readers, the solution that has been suggested to me to ensure that you don't get asked any questions is: Make sure you can compile packages (on Windows this involves installing Rtools). Then explicitly set type = "source" when you use ask = FALSE. update.packages(ask = FALSE, type = "source") __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
