[R-pkg-devel] Change package name

Tim Salabim 
I second Dirk's suggestion to address this issue directly to CRAN. I had
one of my packages changed once from "Reot" to "remote" (which enables
calculation of empirical orthogonal teleconnections as introduced by van
den Dool 2000) and had to present some convincing arguments to do so (in
quite a long email conversation). The point that finally convinced CRAN in
my case was that a reviewer of the complementing publication about the
package in jss requested that name change as Reot could easily be
misinterpreted as rotated eot, analogous to EOF and rotated EOF. And jss
apparently has the policy to only publish papers about packages available
from CRAN.

So, as Dirk said, it is possible to convince CRAN, but you need good
arguments.
