But please --- this concerns every one on R-devel ---
if you do not subscribe to R-help,
then do subscribe to R-announce -- that one has about
one posting *per month* and is really only for important
announcements (and basically reserved for R-core to post).

See a list of *all*  R-announce postings of  2011 :

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-announce/2011/date.html

with the 2.14.0 announcement at the end.
