Thank you both and I agree to close this in favor of ARROW-8324.
Perhaps after adding *_ipc_file functions, the various documents need to be
updated to recommend the use of *_ipc_file functions.

> [R] Rename *_feather functions
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-17072
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17072
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 8.0.0
> Reporter: SHIMA Tatsuya
> Priority: Major
>
> As noted in the following document, the recommended extension for IPC files
> is now `.arrow`.
> > We recommend the “.arrow” extension for files created with this format.
> https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format
> However, the R library cannot read IPC files without using the `read_feather`
> function after ARROW-16268.
> I think users will be confused if you keep using this function name because
> the word `feather' is not associated with `.arrow` for beginners.
> For example, could we deprecate function `read_feather` and recommend another
> function like `read_ipc_file`, which has the same functionality?
> Note: This ticket was created as a result of a conversation with [~kou] on
> Twitter.
