I just tried to build an R package in copr, and it failed because an R

Apart from the question of why R was updated to an incompatible version,
what was supposed to happen about rebuilding things as a consequence? I
got a large amount of noise due to that package from rebuilds in
rawhide, and I'd have assumed the same would have happened for EPEL.
Have I missed some notification that I had to do something?
Sounds like they should have rebuilt the packages in EPEL8 as well as
Rawhide/Fedora.
If it were me I'd open a bugzilla against the EPEL8 R requesting a
rebuild of the packages that depend on it.
