If R is about to be rebuilt would it be worth considering updating to 
2.5.0 at the same time?

I'm mentioning it 'cos I've already had one user request for 2.5.0 though 
we are mostly still using R-2.3.1 (on SL3) so it might have just been 
because that is 'so old' that some packages can't/won't cope with it...

R releases seem to be pretty frequent -- 2.3.0 was released only a year 
before 2.5.0 so that will probably be 'old' soon too :-(
