There's been an announcement that the next version of R will be called 3.0.0. Although not a massive change (compared to Python 2.x and 3.x, or Perl 4 to Perl 5), it might be a good opportunity to revise all the spatial classes in order to: * clear out any cruft * remove any inconsistencies * add some new functionality * unify across spatial packages The first thing that springs to mind, for example, is getting sp and raster to use the same functions for coordinate reference system processing. Doubtless there are other opprtunities for synergy... Yes, this may well break existing code, but if R is going to jump from 2 to 3 then that will break existing code too. Your ponderances, please...
