Seems like the cran submission process sometimes allows extraneous filetypes... .rproj?

Just checked a few and it seems the .Rproj files are all under tests/ or inst/, which is totally legal.

I'm not entirely sure about the behavior but I do suspect that putting an .Rproj file under the root without .Rbuildignore it would result in some errors/warnings.

Seems like the location of these files within the package would be potentially insightful. How do people generally organize their artifacts?

I guess this post from R-hub is somehow relevant: https://blog.r-hub.io/2020/05/20/rbuildignore/
