boot vs. bootstrap
Package bootstrap is orphaned, that is no longer maintained.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.

There is a library boot and another one bootstrap. When is it preferable to use one or the other, please?
