You are right!  I should update =E2=80=9Cr-data.table=E2=80=9D because th=
e license
seems to be GPL3+ not GPL2+. =20

You=E2=80=99re right again.

Is there ever a reason to upgrade the included recommended packages?  I
know that when installing some bioconductor packages R asks whether to
upgrade some included packages, such as MASS.  I=E2=80=99m not sure if it=
 makes
sense to offer separate packages for the latest versions of these
modules.

What do you think?  I=E2=80=99m not much of an R-user myself.
