So #Rstats 4.6.0 is out. Some people are fire-breathing "OMG need to update all packages". We also discuss within Debian if we need a new 'tag' (as we did for R 4.0.0). I happen to think a more nuanced approach is possible, and I have a little write-up and tests. Comments welcome. #r2u

#r2u is absolutely cooking right now! Over 200k downloads by 10:20h; over 160k in the last three hours. Over 250k yesterday.

Evidently robust demand for installing or upgrading your CRAN packages for #Rstatst via `apt` at a system level.

#r2u: Fast. Easy. Reliable. Pick All Three.
