R 1.9.1 is now in testing. I could therefore upload 2.0.0 into unstable.
However, this will break existing library() installation.
In an ideal world, we could coordinate all this. E.g. I could (continue to)
seed experimental with a recent R 2.0.0 snapshot, we download these into our
build environments, build the r-* packages and upload them around the same
time.
Would that be feasible? Say, next weekend?
