They are blocked by packages in NEW so whenever FTP masters accept these.
I think we can workaround these anyway by editing the DESCRIPTION file -- maybe I'll do so and upload either late in the night today or early morning Tom.

Many of these are also due to versioned depends I guess.

I know, if that could be improved, it'd be awesome otherwise it's a pain to deal with. Even for an earlier r-base transition, I had to do bogus uploads to make Britney happy.
It does not make much sense to me to add a breaks for things and clutter d/control. There's no real usecase to be honest since there's already a version dep on r/r-api-bioc respectively.
