Michael, I see one of my packages is on that list, because of the upper bound on template-haskell. I would love the raise the upper bound, but of course only if it will actually build.
Can I download a binary version snapshot GHC 7.8 somewhere so I can test and apply changes accordingly? I actively avoid building GHC from source.
