There is no clean fix. The packages featuring r-bioc-api-3.15 just need
some new predependencies. These are hanging in new since some days.
Just pretending the new predependencies are not needed is not a fix,
IMHO. So we can do nothing but wait.

I agree that in principle experimental would be cleaner. On the other
hand its a lot more manual work. I wonder whether it is a real problem
to leave the new r-bioc-* packages waiting in unstable until the
preconditions might have cleared NEW. Is this not yet finished
transition in some way creating work? I mean we have uploaded lots of
packages pretty fast - hopefully faster than in other transitions. So
we are now waiting a bit. May be my view on transitions is to naive and
there is really a problem if its delayed a couple of days more. I plan
to give some hint to ftpmaster in the beginning of next week but I do
not want to create more pressure than needed.
Kind regards
Andreas.
