Everybody really involved (John, Simon) hates and objects to "R5". Stop using the term. @hadleywickham @geoffjentry @johannux

@eddelbuettel @geoffjentry @johannux I've talked to John and hate is far too strong. The horse is out of the stable and J accepts it.

Strongly disagree. John never uses the term, Simon has existing skunkworks with same name @hadleywickham @geoffjentry @johannux
Replying to @eddelbuettel
@eddelbuettel @hadleywickham @johannux Exactly my point. Yes, some people call them R5. No, they're not correct in doing so.

OK I get it. The debate in the R community somewhat explains my confusion as a recent newbie. @geoffjentry @eddelbuettel @hadleywickham
