This requirement has been around for awhile. New package submissions are
checked against the devel version of Bioconductor. At the moment this is R
devel (R 4.1) and Bioconductor packages in devel for 3.13. Given that
Bioconductor releases are closely tied to a R release, and changes in R can
(and have) had great consequences for package functionality, we can not
guarantee a package will work on any previous version of R or with previous
versions of packages.
It is why it is a warning and not an error

Subject: [Bioc-devel] BiocCheck and version requirement
The latest BiocCheck (well, it may have been around for a bit) _requires_
the package to have a R >= 4.1 dependency.
That seems new to me. Right now it's a bit irritating, because if you're
submitting a package that works with latest stable release, you are now
prohibited from installing it from Github into your stable Bioc version.
Traditionally, we have not enforced this I think, even though we all know
of the implicit dependency.
