   This is really great, I'm going to trigger a crossbow build [1] against this branch. The CI build I'm triggering takes the contents of the devdocs and turns them into a script that is then run (to confirm that the steps here actually produce the outcome we would like. 
   
   You [might have noticed `save=run & macos`](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/vignettes/developing.Rmd#L119) or `save=run & linux` 
   
   We don't necessarily have to add windows to this in this PR or right away (though if we are going to defer it, we should make a Jira for it). If you do want to see how this works, basically we [take this special github actions workflow](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/tasks/r/github.linux.revdepcheck.yml) and run it through github actions (there's more complications here, but that's the basic idea)
   
   [1] crossbow, if you're not already familiar is our extend CI system for running CI jobs that don't need to be run on every commit/pr.
