The end of an era, and, if we may add, good riddance. A bunch of mailing list (and, e.g., @stackoverflow) answers for #rstats will be invalid but that is the sweet, sweet taste of slow moving progress (in, as usual, r-devel aka R 4.2.0 to be by next spring).

Do you think this will break raster memory functions? If so, I have some work to do!

Can you elaborate why you think this would still be useful or even needed in a 64-bit only world of using R #rstats (assuming you *did* see that announcement a while earlier)?

It may sound funny but is flippant, and not everybody gets the irony. We value diversity, and that entails test setups too. "Slowlaris", as much as may pains us at times, helps us create more robust systems. Just how x86_64 once helped in a 32 bit world we now leave behind.
