The other thing that jumps out is that /bin/sh wasn't even replaced atomically.

/bin/sh did not exist for a moment, and every other thing running on the system relying on it would have gone boom.

I thought R was statistical, and statistics was insidiously difficult. Based on the assumptions displayed in the wrapper, I'm not sure I'd trust the package either..
