R package grid disappeared?

R package grid seems to be part of some recent answers here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/29346910/684229 or https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/62772/4630). However, R refuses to install the package and at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/grid/index.html I learn that grid package was removed from CRAN repository! With no other information where all its features can be found... I doubt it simply got lost without a replacement?

David Arenburg is correct. According to the grid changelog, it became a base package with version 1.8.0. Therefore, it no longer needs to be available on the CRAN repository.

Since it is a base package, it should come pre-installed with all newer versions of R.
