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.

statistics.scm was the only thing we had for R in the beginning. 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.

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 ;)
