R devel - Oct 2012 - Spurious warning when calling data() ?

Hi,

When calling data, a warning seems to have been left behind
> data(package="stats", verbose=FALSE)
Warning message:
In data(package = "stats", verbose = FALSE) :
   datasets have been moved from package 'stats' to package
'datasets'

(full version details further below).

Best,

Laurent

What is spurious about that warning?  It's still as true now as it was 
when the move happened several years ago.
