Given all those changes in the library structure and Cabal, naming the next GHC release "7.x" (probably 7.0.1, if I understand the current naming policy correctly) would be better IMHO, giving everybody a clear hint about portability issues. (even if those issues are "only" import changes, *.cabal/Setup.hs changes and various minor library API changes) But it's too late for such discussions, 6.8.1 has already been branched...
