I'm aware only of these issues with 7.10:

1. Non-deterministic package ids.

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.ghc.devel/8777

   This is only a problem for those using binary caches.

2. Lack of library support.

   If I calculated correctly, there are 8192 packages on Hackage.  LTS
   Stackage (which uses 7.8.4) supports 1063 packages (the ones that are
   actively maintained, I think) while Nightly (which uses 7.10.1)
   supports even more: 1097.  The rest we can patch if needed, so it's
   not an issue for us either.

I second this.  I think it's better to switch now while we aren't
dealing with real money, so we have some time for testing.
