Yes, this is the case for *all* releases of GHC, even minor ones(*). It would be nice
to improve this situation, but unfortunately retaining binary compatibility is not
straightforward due to the high level of coupling between compiled modules - the price
you pay for aggressive inter-module optimistaion.

(*) Actually this may not be strictly true, but binary compatibility would be
accidental rather than intended.
