Indeed but I support the concept of the haskell-platform. It is too

I suggest we try this technique on one case first and the text package
seems to be a good example. We could package the latest version of
text and upgrade some package which depend on it.
I'm sorry, but what "technique" are you referring to here?
There was a proposal (in the far past) to add "-hp" to the name of all
packages which belong to haskell platform (HP). The different name would
allow to have a HP package version and one more package version which
was supposed to be the very latest stable version.
HP packages could depend only on other HP packages. Non-HP packages
could depend on HP packages and also on non-HP packages.
Not sure whether there is some fundamental problem why this cannot work
or it was only forgotten. Looks to me like it could work.
