It's been a little over a week since DXO pushed out the mother lode of 5DS R lens retesting, and -- as much as I slay them for their nuts methods -- we should be grateful someone had the bandwidth to retest so many lenses (over 100!) on a 50 MP sensor.
The funny thing is, you wouldn't know the 5DS R testing was done when looking at their lens tables:

5DS R data is not aggregated with the rest of their testing.
Try sorting for the sharpest lenses. Not there.
Try filtering by EF Mount only. Not there.
Try filtering by brand to Canon. Not there.
The only way to see 5DS R data is to expressly pick the 5DS R as your camera in the advanced filters. I thought it was a glitch when this was so in the first 24 hours after finding the data, but it does not seem to be something DXO is in a hurry to fix. :
The sharpest 9 lens + camera results they've ever recorded are not visible unless you know the rock to look under. And if you'd like to see the 5DS R mounted lens scores tabled in comparison to other rigs* -- something DXO fondly does with Nikon/Sony glass sitting high above Canon in their scoring -- there is no way to do that at DXO presently.

* We all know you shouldn't compare lenses across different rigs, but that never stopped DXO before, so I'd like to see them lie down in the bed they've made.
