So do I, but some things have more immediate, tangible benefits and are easier
to fix. ;)
The lib/R/library directory contains sub-packages, most of which used to be
add-on packages. Each one expects to be installed entirely and exclusively
in a subdirectory of lib/R/library. Making them conform to hier(7) would be
very painful and [arguably] fruitless.
As for the other directories under lib/R, I will certainly investigate the
feasibility of coercing them to conform to hier(7).
Cheers,
Eric
