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.

@eddelbuettel @hadleywickham @geoffjentry @johannux About "R5": They are JMC's daughters and he doesn't like 'R5'. Father's right, ok?

Precisely. We stopped using the term after spending an afternoon with John in late 2010 @MMaechler @hadleywickham @geoffjentry @johannux
