Developers should be using older versions of GHC because they cannot be sure users will have an up-to-date GHC. Heck, I test my application on GHC 6.10 before I release. You find out interesting things such as the fact that even though Data.Map.foldWithKey is deprecated, the preferred function is not available in 6.10.
