Don't think it needs all that content, duplication of information elsewhere, extraneous info. I like that it's in the Arch wiki, though. > * http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Arch_Linux/Policy > > This page is out-dated.

I updated it back then when the new version of yaourt did support that, but I should've gotten rid of the old info too. Don't think we need that page.
