Hopefully this doesn't sound too self-serving, but:

 * Keeping a mirror up-to-date is _much_ easier than keeping a package
up-to-date (i.e. you just have to run rsync regularly).

 * I don't recall receiving any automated notices about problems, and
I've just tried searching for combinations of R 2.10, warning and
ggplot2 as well as several other attempts and haven't been able to
find anything.  I normally try and keep on top of issues like this.
