> I understand that the R port and portgroup need to stay in sync with the
compiler they choose, but why do all the dependents need to be rev bumped?
They will be built with a different compiler in future, but that's the
case for all ports whenever we change the compiler fallback list, or
indeed whenever users install a new Xcode version.
R upstream insists that identical compiler should be used for R itself and
all R packages. I have no idea to what extent there is substance to the
claim, but if we do not follow this, it is pretty likely no tickets will
be accepted by R-related upstreams (besides, obviously, a possibility that
something works incorrectly, models spit out wrong results etc.).
