If you look at the CRAN page for the package doMC, you'll notice that in the
reverse dependencies, there are only "reverse suggests" and "reverse enhances"
(no "reverse depends"). Looking at the source code for some of the packages in
"reverse suggests" should give you an answer to your question

The question is why you want to make doMC an hard install time dependency.
Better make it optional (via Suggests) and provide different
parallelization mechanisms on platforms where doMC is unavailable.

well, it doesn't work on Windows, given that doMC isn't available. Trying
to hide that would seem weird. Does CRAN insist that all packages should
work on all platforms?

Hi everyone,
I'm preparing to release a package which uses doMC for parallelization in
certain functions. I've used require(doMC) to specify this for these functions,
and importFrom("doMC", "registerDoMC") in my NAMESPACE.
I ran all the R CMD --as-cran checks under 3.4.0 and R-devel on Debian
