I think what is really weird is the license of locfit (see discussion in
#731599) and the fact that it seems impossible to reach locfit upstream.
If you ask me there are chances to talk to CRAN / Bioconductor people
that they are relying on non-free software (which is as far as I know
also against their polica) but nobody has explained that issue clear
enough. May be its not to hard to create a locfit alternative.
Kind regards
Andreas.
