I noticed this in the NEWS:

     o   Datasets 'sunspot.month' and 'sunspot.year' are available
         separately but not via data(sunspot) (which is used by
package lattice to retrieve a dataset 'sunspot').

Now, the 'sunspot' dataset included in lattice was actually a
mistake, I realized later that I instead wanted the 'sunspots' data
from base, which is currently used in example(xyplot). (Even more
recently, I realized that I actually want sunspot.year.)

Would it make any difference if I removed the 'sunspot' data from
lattice? I don't think anyone is going to miss it.

Not to that change.  We are trying to encourage the idea that
data(foo) gives you foo (and possibly more), and also to remove
conflicts between packages.

I think if you removed sunspot from lattice we could then encourage
you to use LazyData, which would be good as all other standard and
recommended packages now do.
