Hmm, that's fair enough Ben, I stand corrected. I will say that this seems
to be a pretty "soft" recommendation, as these things go, given that it
isn't tested for by R CMD check, including with the -as-cran extensions. In

Hi Henrik,
A couple of things. Firstly, so far asI have ever heard, it's valid that a
package have hard dependencies in its tests for packages listed only in
Suggests. In fact, that is one of the stated purposes of Suggests. An
argument could be made, I suppose, that the base packages should be u
Two questions to R Core:

Thanks, but I don't understand. That's what I usually do when I build
R with 'recommended' packages. But here, I explicitly do *not* want
