Even, It is fair to say that Tim's rgdal2 could be to rgdal as GDAL 2.0 is to GDAL 1.*, so rgdal in its present form isn't being replaced, but isn't going to receive development effort other than keeping it running - too many things depend on it. I've just posted some points on R-sig-geo: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2014-February/020409.html summarised as points and questions to Tim: Your choice of Rcpp is one that the extension of R to include reference classes recently, provoked by Rcpp, makes possible and attractive. Would you prefer to use this list for postings with regard to rgdal2, or gdal-dev, the wiki on the github repository, or some alternative? Would you consider perhaps aligning rgdal2 with GDAL 2.0, rather than the GDAL 1.* series? This would give rgdal2 the advantage of being ready when GDAL 2 is ready, and puts GDAL 1.* and rgdal in "maintenance mode" while GDAL 1.* is still with us.
