There was a "not" missing here -- no change or improvement anticipated as rpy has not been maintained for years (but it being kept around as rpy2 is a little different). Now: having R itself (which is used by (tens or hundreds) of thousands of people) blocked just because rpy (which at best a few dozen people use) may be hang up is just wrong.
