| * `dockerize(cache = TRUE)` does not cache [R source code](https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/) (yet) and System Requirements (in `deb` packages) | ||
| * `query_sysreqs()` (as well as `resolve(query_sysreqs = TRUE)`) queries for System Requirements based on the latest version of the packages on CRAN / Github. Therefore: | ||

maybe mention that this only works with CRAN packages? That is, it doesnt tell you if a package comes from github

| **GQ3: Why is the R script generated by `dockerize()` and `export_rang()` so strange/unidiomatic/inefficient/did you guys read `fortunes::fortune("answer is parse")`?** | ||
