In the grand scheme of things, R is a rather peripheral package. Please just put a "block" on r-base-core to prevent it from migrating to testing. All these dependencies will be held too. I cannot influence the R release cycle which happens within our freeze. As have a few previous R releases, and none of those created any trouble.
