package ‘Glimma’ still not available for R version 3.4.4, why?

Could this be because of a compatibility issue between the current release of Bioconductor (version 3.6) and R 3.4.4 (2018-03-15)?

> source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Bioconductor version 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.3), ?biocLite for help
> biocLite()
BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.3), R 3.4.4 (2018-03-15).

Does this mean that I can not update Bioconductor because, perhaps, the latest version of R is too recent?

Here is R's answer when I try to download 'Glimma':

You have an older version of BiocInstaller on a new version of R. It should look like this:

> library(BiocInstaller)
Bioconductor version 3.6 (BiocInstaller 1.28.0), ?biocLite for help
> version
               _

I have no idea how you got such an old version of BiocInstaller, but you should probably start R again (in a directory without a .Rdata, or using the --vanilla flag), do 

remove.packages("BiocInstaller")

And then re-install using 

source("https://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

Then you probably want to do

biocValid()

and follow the instructions to fix your Bioconductor installation first.

Why do you think it is unavailable? R-3.4.4 just uses the release version of Bioconductor, and Glimma is available for all operating systems in release.
