Infrastructure packages are not strictly required to have a vignette.
However that doesn't mean they shouldn't have one ;-)

I'm guilty. I plan to remedy this ASAP. In the mean time I'll be glad
to help. Note that other people are already working (or planning to
work) on other backends:

Backend for remote HDF5 data:

   https://github.com/vjcitn/RemoteArray

   See issues #1, #2, #3 for some discussion about this.

Backend for GDS files:

Cheers,
H.
