orphaned packages
The cran package sources page contains a list of orphaned packages. Also, note that the full source listing contains a "priority" category that points out what packages are recommended. (For example, see the listing for the boot package--priority: recommended.).

Are there many packages that are orphaned, and have a better "half" much like bootstrap? Is there a listing, or directory of "recommended" packages (other than the packages downloaded with the initial R install)? Thanks, Neil Eastep.

Package bootstrap is orphaned, that is no longer maintained. Package boot is much more comprehensive, and a recommended
package.
That suggests to me that you always use boot: I do.
