Refinement to issue definition: It's not a good idea to include all the primary data as part of the package considering the following advice.

What I would try to do is to put a mechanism to acquire this data in the package, but separate the (changing ?) data from the code.
Packages are not first and foremost a means to direct data acquisition, in particular for changing data sets. Most packages include fixed data to demonstrate or illustrate a method or implementation.

Thus, there are real scalability issues.

1. The data will eventually scale up beyond the typical idea of data that can be included in an R package. Though there are data packages with large datasets, i.e. https://github.com/waldronlab/curatedTCGAData, these types of packages won't eventually double the number of high-throughput data.

2. So far including the batch-curated data has been OK to show how to implementation of certain modules would work, but in the future data updates will happen relatively frequently and also force package updates.
