Having been on the receiving end of similar machinations myself, I will point out that version 4.1.0.1 was not released by @awalker89, but rather was created by CRAN personnel and released with maintainer of ORPHANED. So, just realize that it's an unusual situation and not a normal release.

That's all well and good but pretty annoying doing final builds before submitting to CRAN. My package is fine but the downstream depends are now screwed up. Three releases in four days. I don't directly depend on this but it is crashing my builds.
