@eyayaw It is a least three gems hidden in one trenchcoat.
Hey Future Dirk, next time you scramble for ten minutes to find which variable held all 'base' and 'recommended' #Rstats packages, just remember this post (and its Alt-text). You are welcome, sincerely, Current Dirk
@hrbrmstr Same vibes, same techniques.

@trevorld @Lluis_Revilla It is not that simple, which is why we should talk on the list (also in front of more eyeballs) and not here. Other environment variables, eg for OpenMP, also enter.

We have no 'overall threads counter / limit' but we had past discussions on that list. At the end of the day, you need buy-in for changes from CRAN / R Core, not from Lluis or me. So asking / proposing on the list is probably what you want.

@trevorld A discussion on the r-package-devel list is a very approproate; the list was more or less created for these types of conversations between us package developers and CRAN.

Even simpler with an `awk` file such as

svn log | awk '/r[0-9]+ / {print $3}'

after which we directly get the svn committers to tabulate. Next time :)

Reproducing the Rousseeuw Prize citation ordering with a few lines of #Rstats code from an older blog post.

And once again sincere congratulations for an award so well deserved.
