Also look at the Date: of those packages -- CRAN Policy changes have always
been implemented on a rolling basis.   So new(er) packages conform to new(er)
tests, updates are always never forced on already-uploaded packages.
 
The communication of such changes is not quite what I liked it to be. But
if you care you can subscribe to the output stream of a cron job I have
watching over this:

  https://twitter.com/CRANPolicyWatch
  
If you don't like twitter subscription you can still glance at that page.
I should probably do the same for the SVN source of Writing R Extensions in
R-devel...
