We are going for option a) which means rename all the URLs, right?

Because it is a lot, I suggest to first address the bug#36805, i.e.,
provide as an argument the BioConductor version to 'bioconductor-uri'
and applies this policy to all the new packages or any update of them.

Moreover, I have suggested to reorganise bioconductor.scm,
bioinformatics.scm, cran.scm, etc. and I have not dedicated enough
time to this boring task.  But because I am working remotely
(semi-lockdown), I plan to work on it next week and so this change of
URLs could be part of the big reorganisation.

What do you think?

All the best,
