Today's `r2u` example: installing `imputeTS` in one step, ten seconds (!!) for fifty-ish total packages, and without any BLAS/LAPACK hickups as the @StackOverflow question below experienced. Still rocks hard😀

New quick `r2u` demo: spawned by the SO question below showing how to install package `raster` plus all its dependencies as binaries in one quick command that run in under 20 seconds. #rstats#rspatialstackoverflow.com/a/72946019…
View outside my dining room window yesterday on the way to a re-run of the coffee machine. We live in what is called around here the 'near west' burbs and you and I could run to the Loop from here on a decent day as it is about ten miles as the crow flies ....
How it started. How it's going.
We have 500+ fewer package on CRAN than at '19k packages' in March.
Enforcing quality levels is harsh. We all hate rejection (from CRAN, journals, conferences, ...) so this is not popular. But it helps ensure quality. #rstats
Hey, look, round number at CRAN!
A big, big thank you to the CRAN maintainers who are volunteers putting together an unparallel repository with unmatched quality guarantees, year in and out. Very much appreciated!
(Even if #RStats package authors like myself grumble at times.)
