Reproducibles should be tied to specific versions of software or even OS and hardware. So no, this is not going to break correctly designed analyses. It's only going to break those which were not reproducible in the first place.


Hence the quotation marks, the state of software engineering in many scientific fields isn't very good, you'll be lucky if people list which package versions they used.


Fair enough. I might have misunderstood your remark originally, though the point stands, of course.
