If we could at least let a paper from 2020 be compiled in 2021, that seems like a good thing...
Oh yeah for sure. I don't think it will be no more possible to build - the question will be what should be the default behavior.
I mean the new template could live with the old template. Then something trigger the use of one or the other.
Just saying that we won't break completely. There will always be ways to opt-in previous template if require. And we could have a deprecation period to have a smooth transition.
I think we'll know more once you look into the differences.
This is a continuation of the discussion begun with pull request #406 .

I haven't played with it enough to know if adapting to the new format will break things or if workarounds can be found, but the template is quite different. For example, it requests that you split addresses into their many parts, which was not the case before. I will have to see if these are merely suggestions that can be ignored or not. My goal would be to not break things if it can be avoided, but this may be inevitable.
You are probably not "wrong", but I must admit it drives me crazy how quickly R code ages. If we could at least let a paper from 2020 be compiled in 2021, that seems like a good thing...
