R != S-Plus
The only major problem I can see is that he sent it to R-bugs, creating a minor (major?) workload problem for Peter which
shouldn't
have happened.
Something broke down in the development process. Let's get it
fixed. I'm not sure what the fix should be but I have erred on both sides of the problem. On occassion I have reported to r-bugs something that really was not a bug. More often I have reported something to r-devel that I think may be a bug, but not sent it to r-bugs because I was not sure, and then it got forgotten and never filed on r-bugs. Perhaps a solution would be to have someone approve messages to r-bugs so there is at least a rough scan first. (Since there are so few bugs in R there really is not much traffic on r-bugs.)
