*rekado updates R to 4.1.0

*rekado updates CRAN packages

<PurpleSym>Is anyone updating Python packages regularly too?

<rekado>I only update them when things break badly enough.

<rekado>and only because I *have* to.

<rekado>I find updating Python packages messy, in part because the importers aren’t as convenient as the CRAN/Bioconductor importers

<efraim>I found Julia was really nice to work with, easier than rust but compiles very slowly

*rekado updates Bioconductor packages

<PurpleSym>I feel it’s very easy (and often invisible) to break things when updating Python software, so I don’t like to touch packages I don’t know either.

<rekado>my bioconductor upgrade list: https://elephly.net/downies/bioc-TODO.txt

<rekado>PurpleSym: yeah, I feel the same. The sanity check on core-updates will improve the situation somewhat.
