   I don't think we do anymore--we just check the openssl version: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/r/tools/nixlibs.R#L184-L193
   
   Even though it's listed in this doc, I'd still consider using the nightly libarrow binaries for local package development to be "off-label", it's not what they're intended for. But I think adding a sentence to call `openssl version` to see which one you should use is fine for these purposes.
