Yes, but on the recent version it is *not* OK. 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.8/check/quantreg-check.log 
tells you:

  [...]
  * checking examples ... ERROR
  Running examples in quantreg-Ex.R failed.

BTW: Efforts have been made to upload these check logs to CRAN in order 
to provide you with this information, so please read those files!


Looking closer (as a hint for Roger), R *crashes* when running the 
examples in ?boot.rq.

You can download the source package and compile from source (I don't 
know of any "extensions files").
Attention: The problem not passing Rcmd check remains (almost certain).
