Why a distribution at all?
Open source R is a language and a community; a distribution is a tested build of it with the pieces a team can rely on. Revolution R Open added multi-threaded performance (Intel MKL), a Reproducibility Toolkit, and 100% compatibility with CRAN packages, RStudio and third-party integrations — on Windows, macOS and Linux.
It was released in October 2014, alongside Revolution R Plus.
