[RsR] R-SIG-Robust Digest, Vol 20, Issue 2

[Kjell Konis]

It's probably because the Robust Library has only been available for R  
for a little over a year and only available under the GPL for about 6  
months.  Also, I don't think they "recommend rlm over lmRob" but  
rather don't mention lmRob at all.
