[Rd] Different package versions on CRAN?

Hello,
I am making changes to some of my packages that are exposed in CRAN.
Some changes make them incompatible with previous R versions [and I use
Depends: R (>= 2.1.0)]. I suspect that, as soon as I will upload this
new version to CRAN, it will replace the old one _everywhere_? However,
the previous version of these packages remains perfectly usable with R
1.9.X or 2.0.X. So, will this break the binaries in
/windows/contrib/1.9|2.0, or will the latest valid binaries of my
packages remain there, not updated? To put it another way, for a package
Mypack with version 1.0-1 compatible with all R versions, when I upload
Mypack version 2.0-0 compatible only with R 2.1.0, what will be the
result on CRAN regarding Windows binaires?
1°) /windows/contrib/2.1/Mypack_2.0-0.zip
/windows/contrib/2.0/Mypack_1.0-1.zip # Not updated
/windows/contrib/1.9/.... # Idem for all other subdirs
or
2°) /windows/contrib/2.1/Mypack_2.0-0.zip
??? error ??? because CRAN tries to update the package for other
subdirectories and encounters Depends: R (>= 2.1.0) ???
Thanks,
Philippe
