My understanding is that the packages installed with the windows installer were only updated by installing a new version of R or the patched install file for the current version. If this is the case you you do not need to be concerned about updates to these packages. Perhaps some one wiser that I can confirm if my assumption is right or wrong.
No, updates of such recommended packages may be available between R releases. But individual users can install new versions using install.packages() into their private libraries, e.g. those that are first on the search path (given by .libPaths()) so that they are loaded first.

Is there any way to just install R without any third-party packages, and let individual users install the packages they want?
