It's better to have more documentation than less, and it's better for 
the documentation to exercise the software via embedded code chunks than 
to become a snapshot of commands that once worked but do not now.

So I suggest leaving the vignettes as they are; the packages are not 
greatly in excess of the Bioconductor guidelines, right?
