Review Comment:
   I'm not sure I agree that this is a pattern we want to get rid of so quickly 
(I've onboarded a number of new contributors, and if they've got a purely R 
fix,`brew install apache-arrow --HEAD` was the quickest way forward.
   
   But if this is removed, we should also update the docs at 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/developers/setup.html (and anywhere 
else we've listed that)
