Control: severity -1 serious

Do we know if this issue may also mean that any packages built with this
new version are incompatible with older R versions? [I'm thinking so,
but my ABI-fu is not super strong.]

If so, we'll need to make sure that they depend on at least this R
version.

We also may need to populate a breaks with all of those packages which
have the older version.


As a side note, it's really important not to start transitions like this
when we're in a freeze; this upload of R 3.4 should have been made to
experimental, not unstable. [Not that I can really point too many
fingers; I accidentally uploaded a new release of scowl to unstable
which I meant to target at experimental the other day...]
