Review Comment:
   Just because they allowed downloading via (auto|home)brew doesn't mean they 
allow downloading binaries elsewhere. IIRC the autobrew stuff worked because 
CRAN agrees to it
   
   > Only as a last resort and with the agreement of the CRAN team should a 
package download pre-compiled software. (See also [Using 
Rust](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/using_rust.html).)
   
   from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html
   
   It's possible that CRAN will treat `https://apache.jfrog.io/...` favorably, 
but looking at the recent experience of RUST (and listed in [Using 
Rust](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/using_rust.html, `github.com` is 
*not* considered stable enough (point being, it's not quite an all-or-nothing 
with downloading, there are some things that are allowed and some things that 
are not.
