[BioC] Keep getting warning messages of package 'XYZ' was built under R version 2.8.1

[Daren Tan]

Please clarify my understanding. 
 
When R version 2.8.0 was released, all packages in Bioconductor version 2.3 was built with it. During this period, any installation of packages in bioconductor 2.3 did not give any warnings. With the minor release R version 2.8.1, Bioconductor version 2.3 was rebuilt with it. Any installation of packages in bioconductor 2.3 will now give warnings that they were built with 2.8.1. 
 
If my understanding is right, would it better for Bioconductor to have minor release like 2.3.X in synchrony with R 2.8.X ?
