Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

Hi all. Several package developers who maintain packages that depend on arrow received this email below from CRAN:

Package 'arrow' violates the CRAN policy on downloading binary software
and continued to do so in multiple re-submissions, each taking hours of
CRAN time. The CRAN team is not prepared to spend any more time on it,
so it will be removed on Feb 9.

That will make the packages requiring it (directly or indirectly),

APCalign ClickHouseHTTP DominoDataR IGoRRR MolgenisArmadillo SQL brclimr
censobr diffdfs disk.frame ebirdst foundry gbifdb geslaR nhdplusTools
parqr parquetize radiant.data receptiviti sfarrow starvz strand TKCat
elfgen gwavr radiant radiant.basics radiant.design radiant.model
radiant.multivariate

uninstallable, (They already show failures for their fedora-clang check
results.) To retain your package on CRAN we need an update not depending
on arrow.

arrow is a game changer in R, so I'm opening this issue hopping the developer community can find a solution to this. Thank you for a fantastic arrow package in R.
