We are tied here by the timing of the R transition: we will have to do the
rebuilds quickly once R 3.5 is uploaded to unstable, which might happen before
Bioconductor 3.7 is released.

However, rebuilds come at no cost for arch:any package. For arch:all we have to
do sourceful uploads, but this can be automated to some extent.

Best,
