Note that at the moment there are many missing binary packages for
3.4.0, and BioC will update all their versions when BioC 3.5 is released
this coming week. So I would wait a few days before updating,
especially if you prefer to use binary packages.

whereas for 3.3.3 10356 are available.

Yes, especially this time, since the toolchain has been updated.
My favourite procedure for this goes like
(pkgs <- .libPaths())
(pkgs.old <- sub("3.4", "3.3", pkgs, fixed=TRUE))
(pkgs.new <- setdiff(list.files(pkgs.old), list.files(pkgs)))
Check for sanity(!), then install.packages(pkgs.new). Things may need
modification if yor setup involves personalized libraries, multiple repos, etc.
Just copying the entire directory followed by update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
will overwrite packages from the installation of 3.4 and not all of those are
CRAN based.
[To tell the truth, I don't usually practice what I preach. I just install the
missing packages when it turns out that I need them...]

I keep forgetting. So if I jump from R3.3.3 to R3.4.0 is it necessary (or at
least advisable) to re-install packages?
Thanks,
