I don’t know enough about the various ways in which people use repo2docker and RStudio and how much they depend on specific versions of RStudio installed. But in general I’d say it would be best to keep the versions of R and RStudio roughly in sync (see also “Older Versions of RStudio”). So a backwards compatible way might be to install different versions of RStudio depending on the requested version of R?
