I realized that the path to R has recently changed from /usr/local/bin/R to /usr/local/envs/mlopspython_ci/lib/R in the image mcr.microsoft.com/mlops/python:latest. This might obviously affect several steps of a pipeline, if it uses R at some point.

I wonder if you plan to add the versioning of mcr.microsoft.com/mlops/python instead of only using :latest. I think that it would guarantee more stable execution of existing pipelines.
