Hi Ben It would be good if the status page ( https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-8.2.1) could be updated with what we will actually be getting. In particular, according to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10074 Implement the 'Improved LLVM Backend' proposal has been deferred to 8.4.1
