You need to update Rstudio to a newer version. That fixes this issue.
There isn't an easy to build newer version right at the moment. The issue is
really that a major ABI change occurred and it was pushed to a shipped OS. Do
we do things like go from python 2 to 3 after Fedora ships? No. Major version
changes for R need to be tied to an OS release like every other language. Or a
compat package created.

The only packages that needed to be rebuild are those that rebuild packages
that register C or Fortran functions:
From https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/NEWS.html
"""
PACKAGE INSTALLATION
...
Packages which register native routines for .C or .Fortran need to be re-
installed for this version (unless installed with R-devel SVN revision
r72375 or later).
...
"""
We don't do incompatible changes for python within a Fedora version release.
Major changes should be tied to an OS release. IOW, F26 can have 3.4 just fine
since its not shipped. F25 has already shipped and rebuilding EVERYTHING is
just not nice to push on people.
