Does any one know the reason for this?
Is this a technical or a legal (e.g: license) issue?
If legal issues were the reason, you had not found it in the archives
anymore.
Licensing can change - as a copyright holder I could decide the next
release of my package is going to be under a proprietary license that
doesn't allow redistribution. Any code already released under
something like the GPL can't be forcibly removed, and people can make
new forks from those, but if I'm the only person writing it and I
decide to change the license and the latest free version isn't
compatible with the current version of R then I'd expect to see the
old versions in the archives and no version for the latest version of
R.
Last checkin at R-forge was only six weeks ago, and 1.0-3 installs
fine on my latest R:
https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/?group_id=950
I suspect they just haven't pushed it to R-forge yet. Cockup before conspiracy.

Before people start with even more speculations: Reason is that the
revoIPC package does no compile on modern versions of gcc and hence has
been archived, doSMP depends on it and therefore went to the archives as
well.
