Take 2.

If the API is the same between the releases I don't see why it
wouldn't be OK, presumably the reason why is has been held at that
older version is that the API isn't compatible and would need someone
to do a patch for rpkg to support both versions/APIs and I suspect
that is that people haven't had the resource (time or otherwise) to do
that.
