I apologize for not having investigated enough. However I want to bring up the point that upgrading can be a very tedious thing. I administer a cluster for which upgrading brings it to a halt for several hours stopping all calculations going on. At the moment I have no way to go from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1.
I just want to add this point to the release policy of R which historically has very quick release cycles which on the one hand is a very positive thing but on the other hand can be problematic with respect to some aspects.
