Why aren't R packages noarch?

Tue Mar 6 17:57:03 UTC 2007

Other that installing in /usr/lib/R on i386 and /usr/lib64/R on x86_64, 
there appears to be no difference between an R package on the two 
architectures.  It seems to me that they should be made noarch and put 
into /usr/share/R instead.

Comments?  Note that I am completely new to R....
