Common knowledge. I referenced it half-a-dozen times in the damned thread
about the binNMUs. The ALTREP branch for R was announced as coming earlier
in the year, and is now in the r-devel master branch (ie R upstream).
We will switch to r-api-4 then which will finally break the effing block
posed upon by the release team in response to the 'R 3.4.0 has a change' bug
report by Johannes.

This will happen in April 2018. Hopefully you will have more spare cycles then.
