Every time we have this conversation, the point arises eventually that some people really do use the Sage-R interface. The packages in R do a lot more than statistics, and are the easiest place to get many of them (and similarly in Sage for R users). Then the question becomes how to make sure that the R interfacing with Sage is a "correct" version, though truthfully we don't rely on a huge subset of the functionality in doctests. If there is a very easy standard way to support R in some standard place in many platforms (e.g. Mac, Cygwin) and we carefully connect it with Sage and give those instructions, great ... part of the point of not reinventing the wheel is making sure you include wheels. Don't remove R unless you are SURE that everything will work out properly - probably actually more work than resolving the SSL issue, which after all has come up before anyway outside this context.
