Description

The R kernel seems to have R version 3.3.3. A model fitting package I often use, rstanarm is only supported for R>=3.4. I hope this isn't a difficult upgrade.

This isn't easy :(

We use Debian's upstream R packages, and Debian Stretch. If/when Buster is available to install in prod from the SRE team, it looks like we could upgrade to 3.5.2: https://packages.debian.org/buster/r-base

By the way, there's already a task for this: T220542

In which I do point out that there's an official Debian Stretch repo from CRAN that we could get the latest version of R from: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

@Groceryheist: some workaround instructions in the meantime https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MPopov_(WMF)/Notes/RStan
