Let's put some numbers on that.
The CRAN package repository claims 18770 packages.
That excludes packages in other repositories, of

be discoverable.
It could be useful to collect documents and vignettes
and stuff them into an information retrieval system,
but I cannot imagine a single PDF being usable.
