Yihui, Thanks very much!

One note: The "cloud" CRAN server is nowadays reachable as https://cloud.r-project.org and that is now the preferred URL. Rstudio is currently still paying the service -> Thank you JJ and Rstudio staff! -- but that may not have to remain so, and the R Foundation and R Core team are much happier to have a generic https://cloud.r-project.org as "default CRAN mirror".
