> Do we need to support R 3.6?
Yes, but that shouldn't matter for the libarrow binaries we build.
> Do we need to support Debian buster?
The libarrow binaries we build are optional. As long as arrow compiles
everywhere it should, it's ok if we don't provide binaries that work there,
they're just an installation speedup.
> If we can drop support for them, we can replace `ubuntu-18.04` binaries
with binaries built on Ubuntu 20.04.
#32292 and #33091 should let us switch to using binaries built on CentOS 7,
IIUC, so this would be moot. We'll basically have two versions of libarrow
binaries: one built against openssl 1 and the other against openssl 3.
I would prefer to leave the r-binary-packages jobs unmodified here and
remove the ubuntu-18.04 from it by addressing those other issues.
