There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm worried this is a case of being overly specific with the recommendation.
For example, for me, this is much more often a case of me running dev roxygen2. In which case, I usually want to downgrade the installed roxygen2 version to the released version.
I'm not totally convinced that more words are going to help. It's possible that seeing this a couple times, feeling puzzled, then figuring out how you want to proceed is sort of a package development rite of passage?
But we can discuss a different wording.
