With the risk of starting another flamewar I would like to point out that a natural way to encourage use of r-patched/r-dev would be extending the R release cycle to CRAN packages as was proposed on this mailing list a couple of weeks ago. If install.packages would default to downloading frozen/stable CRAN packages in r-release, and download the very latest CRAN packages in r-patched/r-dev, then most developers would probably switch to r-dev.
I doubt if that would be true. I'd guess most everybody would use r-patched. This would have the effect that nobody would have reproducible research (since r-patched builds aren't archived), and few would test r-devel. Duncan Murdoch
Thereby they would automatically be using the latest ("devel")
versions of base packages in the same way as they currently test their
script/project/package to work with the latest ("current") versions of
CRAN packages.
