As r2016b is maintained by @teknowledgist, have you contacted them to see if they would be interested in creating this?

No, I haven't. I only created this RFP.

[pauby]

My suggestion would be to do that. It may be quicker than waiting for somebody else to pick up, and create, a package.

[masapr]

Actually I cannot find any contact information. But since you mentioned him above, I guess he gets an e-mail (?)

Click 'Contact Maintainer' on the package page I linked to above

Package created and submitted.

Note: Like all the other "mcr*" packages, it is likely to fail the automated verification because it times out. These are huge, slow download/installs.

Thanks.
