(and Alfio Marazzi agreed with you).

There is one very good reason against 'robust':
Insightful's  library(robust) for S-plus.

Our package will certainly not be a clone, and probably quite
different in more than respect.  If we chose the same name,
that would lead to a *lot* of potential user confusion for those
who use both R and S-plus.
I'm sorry but I think that "robust" is really already taken in
the world of S ...
