I was just asking because I have to admit being happy to find an opportunity to drop support for versions of R older than the "current R release" for the next release of rpy2 (experience kicking in here). Nothing like making it not run to cut down on the ping-pong emails such as A1:"does not work" B1:"did you try this or that?" A2:"still does not work" <loop to B1 a certain number of times> B2:"hold on, what version are you using ?"
