[R] Package update announcements

[Martin Henry H. Stevens]

Hi Folks,
I was wondering what everyone thought about adding a sentence to each  
package update announcement that described what the package did. R  
extensions are so numerous that it is difficult to keep up with them.  
Would it be appropriate to ask package developers to add a brief  
sentence about what the package does, when they announce updates?

I would benefit from such descriptions.

Cheers,
Hank
