It appears that R CMD check now gives a warning if rda files are not saved maximally (or at least in my case I can go from 62MB to 39MB which it says is "significantly better") What is the policy for this, for metadata packages? As Martin Morgan pointed out on R-devel a while back, sometimes it may be better to optimize for loading speed, not size. Assuming that loading speed is much better with gz (not tested though).
