Yes, the comments say why. It’s very unusual for a CRAN package to depend on Bioconductor packages. Usually, it is the other way around. I just didn’t want (gnu packages cran) to point to (gnu packages bioconductor). A more correct way to deal with this would be put these outliers in a separate module, or even to ignore this all together until it becomes a problem. > 2. > The second point is that the file statistics.scm contains 227 packages > and 206 are cran-uri.

When it grew and it became apparent that more and more CRAN packages would be added, I felt that the module became less suitable. I don’t understand your comment about “maths.scm” and “python-xyz.scm”. I think it’s good to move CRAN and Bioconductor packages out of statistics.scm whenever possible. We can leave the actual statistics programs there as well as potentially unmovable CRAN packages. > 3. > It is a big move.

I prefer one commit per moved package. I guess this is not what you hoped for, but it makes for a more fine-grained log — and it boosts your commit stats ;) -- Ricardo
