The statement in the link means that one should avoid to include the term tidyverse as a pkg dependency. Instead one should name the specific pkgs from the tidyverse individually. This makes sense, as the tidyverse is a collection of pkgs and referring to it as a whole just blows up the pkg. However, there is no indication to not use tidyverse pkgs (dplyr, ggplot2, stringr,...) in packages or production.
