Cc'ing to the author of this commit.

If TeXLive >= 2013 or a certain version of inconsolata/zi4 is
required, I think it should be documented somewhere, otherwise please
consider backward compatibility with TeXLive <= 2012. Personally I
prefer the latter, given how infrequently TeXLive is upgraded. It is
not unusual to see TeXLive that has been a few years older than its
latest version.

One possible solution is to test the version of inconsolata or zi4:

\@ifpackagelater{inconsolata}{2013/06/09}{
% use noupquote
}
{
% do not use
}

although I do not quite understand the rationale to write a homemade
version of upquote in Rd.sty...

Regards,
Yihui
