Future packages to be added to the tidyverse

[david_hodge]

I was wondering what future packages are intended to be added to the tidyverse group of packages?

I'd love it if sf, leaflet and ggvis were added. These seem to follow the tidyverse framework

Like all things tidyverse, @hadley would be the one to comment on this. He is also a contributor to sf and leaflet, and one of the authors of ggvis. I know that sometime in the past he said something about ggvis being on the back burner, but I cannot find a link.

Here is the ggvis thread (one of the very first in the new community):

Let's clarify the successor to ggvis

R's Shiny/web-facing answer to ggplot seemed at one point to be ggvis, but the package hasn't been developed or seriously maintained for a while now and probably deserves an official send off. It would be great to have some clarity about where the Tidyverse is heading in terms of synthesising the grammar of graphics philosophy with the DOM power of D3. There are a few competing packages out there, but it feels like there is a bit of a vision gap in this area. But I may well be a bit out of touch with latest thinking, so would be great to hear what prevailing views are.

We talked about this a bit, and even managed to get a nice response from @hadley:
