Romain, Gabor,

Would you considerr taking this discussion elsewhere? Or at least make it
very clear that you are talking about the Rcpp11, which as AFAICT has not
left Github.

Rcpp was created as a CRAN package.  It remains a CRAN package.  It fits
squarely into the dependency mechanism of CRAN.  It has proven useful, and
stable. As a consequence it is as of today used by almost 200 CRAN packages
and almost 20 BioC package.

Please do not confuse our users by implying that any of this is about to
change.  You are more than welcome to experiment with new approaches, new
implementation, new distributions, ... but *please* make sure you continue to
do so under a new name too.

This list is about Rcpp.  The CRAN package.  

Thanks,  Dirk
