Sorry, I had misread your post. Indeed there are many CRAN packages which don't
have the r-cran- prefix, which are almost all maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel;
you will note hovewever that Dirk also uses the r-cran- prefix for quite a few
of his packages, apparently those that he introduced more recently. So Dirk
himself seems to have changed his mind, though he did not bother to rename his
older packages.
