   I haven't been following the refactor as closely as I should have; however, 
from a high level the "minimal" build is not all that important because it's 
fairly difficult for a user to actually get one (requires setting environment 
variables or linking to an existing minimal C++ build, which I have only ever 
managed to do accidentally). From that perspective, turning compute off on the 
"minimal" build is probably a good idea: anybody spending effort to get a 
smaller arrow R package build almost certainly does not need non-essential 
compute kernels. (At least one more opinion would be helpful here...I haven't 
been following issues for long enough to know what people are trying to do with 
minimal R builds).

   I think that skipping dplyr tests if Acero is turned off is reasonable (or 
at least that attempting a finer-grained skipping strategy is unlikely to be 
worth our time).
   
   It sounds like the action item here might be to (1) make sure CMD check 
passes when ARROW_COMPUTE=OFF and (2) make ARROW_COMPUTE=OFF part of what you 
get with ARROW_R_MINIMAL.
