Given that I'm the maintainer of the 'clash' package, I wanted to say
that the 'clash' package has been deprecated in favour of the
'clash-ghc' package (for some time now, and this is stated on hackage).
Sadly, 'clash-ghc' will not compile on ghc 8.0.1 right now either; it
only compiles against ghc 7.10. I will update the installation
instructions on the website and in the haddock documentation to mention
this fact.
A version of 'clash-ghc' that compiles against 8.0.1 is not due for
another month.
If you have any more questions about installing clash, I strongly
encourage you to either email me, or the clash-mailing list
(http://groups.google.com/group/clash-language), and not use this
mailing list (ghc-devs@haskell.org) for question about clash.
Regards,
Christiaan

Why would a package developer want to upper bound the version number
for packages like base? For example, the clash package requires
base >= 4.2 && base <= 4.3
Consequently, it refuses to install with the latest ghc provided with
the Haskell Platform (8.0.1).
Does this mean that assuming that future versions of the platform will
remain backwards compatible with prior versions is unsafe?
Thanks,
Dominick
