I'd say a mismatch in saved output isn't a small problem, it's

That's fair enough, but it would be nice if (1) this were a
NOTE and
I don't think so. As I said, I think it should be marked as an ERROR.
OK. But it would probably be wise (if the CRAN maintainers actually
wanted to do this) to crank it up from silent -> NOTE -> WARNING ->
ERROR over the course of several releases so as not to have widespread
test failures on CRAN right away ...
Do you think so? Why would you put saved results into the package
unless you want to test if they match?
My point was just that it would be disruptive to switch the severity
of such mismatches from 'message, no NOTE' to 'ERROR' in a single step -
I'd imagine it could lead to a very large number of CRAN packages
suddenly failing their tests.

Honestly, I thought this had always been a fatal error.
