This change is coming up with a small repercussion: old(er) package rncl has an unused (!!) importFrom(Rcpp, loadRcppModules). I already sent a PR; as the package is used in a quite a few more we have a bit of an intersection with Rcpp:

> db <- tools::CRAN_package_db()
> rdrncl <- data.table(Package = tools::package_dependencies("rncl", reverse=TRUE, recursive=TRUE, db=db)[[1]])
> rdrcpp <- data.table(Package = tools::package_dependencies("Rcpp", reverse=TRUE, recursive=TRUE, db=db)[[1]])
> rdrcpp[rdrncl, on="Package"][, Package]
 [1] "CommEcol"      "phylobase"     "rotl"          "bivariatemaps" "adephylo"     
 [6] "adiv"          "DAISIEprep"    "ddtlcm"        "nodeSub"       "PCPS"         
[11] "phyext2"       "phylocanvas"   "phylosem"      "phylosignal"   "phyloTop"     
[16] "taxize"        "adespatial"    "EcoCleanR"     "taxotools"     "OCNet"

Oh, but it looks otherwise fine. Can you review please, now that I flipped it to normal non-draft? Rev.dep check will be done later today.

Funny. I noticed commented-out chunks at other repos (when chasing the issue in rncl). Will clean that up and also revisit the vignette.

Thanks for catching and highlighting those two issues I overlooked!

Rev.dep check finished, report file committed

tl;dr:

• rncl breaks, I already filed a small PR for it
• rncl has a fair number of reverse dependencies, and those are taken down here too (six packages)
• another spurious fail we had before, possibly due to opcode for a binary too new for the ancient machine used
• a few packages that already have 'Deadline's set at CRAN fail again

So net-net a single 'change to worse' which we can address (with cooperation of its maintainer, that is)
