Are these useable outside of a RSPM subscription?

Answered at @StackOverflow: "Error installing #Rcpp 1.0.4 (released this week) on an (outdated) #Rstats 3.3.*"
Eight paragraphs with details about three issue tickets, three merged pull requests, and an interim Rcpp 1.0.4.3.
We need broader testing.

There is nothing to it.
It is just `r-base` aka `rocker/r-base` -- which already knows about Debian testing (its default) and even unstable (should you need it).

The attention to details such as these by R Core is one of the under-appreciated gems for R. Better high-performance computing (startup) performance coming with R 4.0.0.

We hope COVID-19 is no longer a global threat in June, but we don't know the extent that international travel and large gatherings will still be discouraged.
