| Hi,

| BioConductor has just released version 3.17.  Since the next r-base

Typo: 3.18

| release is pending on 2023-10-31 we do not think it is a good idea to

These two events are basically unrelated.  (BioC releases twice a year, and
the April release comes usually right after an R release. Those may warrant
staging. October releases do not. It uses R 4.3.*. Note the wildcard.)

| right now.  (No idea whether we will see a proper r-api transition but

R does not change APIs on _minor_ releases such as 4.3.2 next week.
