[R-sig-Geo] R-spatial evolution project progress

[Roger Bivand]

The third report on the R-spatial evolution project has been published. It 
links back to earlier blogs and presentations, and focusses on work that 
maintainers of R packages and workflows using rgdal, rgeos and maptools 
need to put in train now.

The first changes will occur in June 2023, and the retiring packages will 
be archived during October 2023. If you are giving a workshop or tutorial 
during the Northern hemisphere summer, aim for June.
