Hello, For what it's worth, I would prefer the first option, i.e. dropping HP. I can't estimate the amount of extra work compared to moving to HP 2011.4.0.0, but I think it'll be more flexible and we won't rely on the imposed structure of HP. I use few of the HP packages; I even uninstalled it to reinstall ghc and the other components manually. I think we'll have the freshest versions of next releases this way, which is closer to the spirit of arch.
