Description changed by jdemeyer:
Old description:

> to open, close, reopen... as long as newer versions '''do not entail any
> substantial modification''' beyond dropping new R source in place and
> fixing the expected version numbers in the r.py doctest. Any further
> problems should be reported in '''specific''' tickets. As a new R version
> arrives (and Real Life (TM) allowing), I'll start from the last accepted

> This is routine work (i. e. even I can do it:-), but using an up-to-date

New description:
a) Having an up-to-date R is a sine qua non to get answers from R Core.
b) R in Sage is rarely up to date (more talented Sage developers work on
more important issues).
c) Therefore, R-in-Sage users have trouble communicating with R Core
d) I am able to create "drop-in replacements" of the R spkg, thus giving R
-in-Sage users an up-to-date R, thus allowing them to get answers from R
Core...
e) Since this is routine work that few people seem to tackle, and since it
is in my limited ability range, I'll try to do it after R upstream
upgrades.
