Have you seen developer.r-project.org?  All the relevant 
information is there. For the medium-term (up to 6 months) the NEWS 
file in the R-devel version of R indicates currently intended changes.

CRAN is a distribution network, and distinct from www.r-project.org 
and developer.r-project.org.

The R project does not have staff, and all plans are subject to 
ther availability of volunteer help.  In practice that means that 
long-term goals are subject to some indefinite delays as the 
circumstances of individuals change.
