Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the repository's existing task-view and package-list structure, then decide where the two lists belong. Done means documenting packages to monitor and excluded packages with brief justifications so the decisions are discoverable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Consider adding to the repo, in some sensible format:

  • a list of archived or not-yet-on-CRAN packages to watch/check periodically for (re)inclusion
  • a list of packages that we decide are out of scope, with brief justification (so that this is documented and doesn't need to be rediscovered if someone asks why the package isn't included)
