Apologies for not seeing this until now. The files on CRAN https://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/ contain R-patched versions that should be up to date. The Zurich R-patched seems to be 4.4.1 patched too now. 

The text in R-admin is a bit out of date (it predates nightly builds of tarballs on the machine that does the final releases), and so is the text on CRAN. We might change them to point to the CRAN directory as the primary source.

(Martin: Are there changes in the situation at Zurich that are relevant to this?)
