That's too cute.

Nobody needs to repeat it, and some of us know that "it is law"
as the "CRAN Repository Policy" (which each package uploads
promises to adhere to) says
 
   If running a package uses multiple threads/cores it must never
   use more than two simultaneously: the check farm is a shared
   resource and will typically be running many checks
   simultaneously.

You may find reading the document informative. The source reference
(mirrored for convenience at GH) of that line is

https://github.com/r-devel/r-dev-web/blob/master/CRAN/Policy/CRAN_policies.texi#L244-L246

and the rendered page is at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html
