[R-SIG-Win] Is an update of Rtools in the mid-to-distant future?

[Avraham Adler]

Hello.

Has there been any thought or consideration given to updating Rtools from
4.9.3 to a 5.x or 6.x flavor, or was the push from 4.6 to 4.9.3 difficult
enough that this should be tabled for a year or three? I know, I'm one to
talk when Jeroen, Kevin, and Dr. Murdoch do all the work, but with GCC up
to 6.3, there have been a lot of changes between 4.9.3 and 4.9.4 [1], 5.x
[2] and 6.x [3].

Thank you,

Avi
