R spatial follows GDAL and PROJ development

A new blog: "R spatial follows GDAL and PROJ development" has been
published: https://www.r-spatial.org/r/2020/03/17/wkt.html.

Those maintaining packages using sf or sp/rgdal, and authors of scripts
using them should read the blog and be prepared to take rapid action when
sf 0.9 is released and built using PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3. An early
release of rgdal (>= 1.5, probably 1.6.0, is also to be expected).
