R 4.0.0 rebuild status

Then probably sticking to bootstrap is the best option. We should
propose a change of the template SPEC in the guidelines to reflect
that all packages should enclose their suggests and %check into a
%{without boostrap} block, with a "%bcond_with bootstrap" defined on
top.

I agree. And probably such that the bootstrap stage exclude the testing part.

So in the first instance we build the packages without testing and after the 
bootstrap we rebuild again those packages but with the tests on again.

After finishing the second batch of packages (from your file) I have a huge 
list of packages that were not rebuild because they require either R-testthat 
or R-testit:
