About "packages should not write in the user’s home filespace"

[hpages]

Found in the README.md file (here):

CRAN has a policy:

packages should not write in the user’s home filespace (including clipboards), nor anywhere else on the file system
apart from the R session’s temporary directory

Not sure where this was taken from but FWIW there's the notable exception of folders obtained with tools::R_user_dir() where of course it's okay to write stuff. It would be very limiting (and sad) to not have a place to write stuff that is meant to persist across sessions.

Not sure how that helps in the context of the r-rust conversation though...
