If we had those things, indeed they would! However, beyond A (GHC 7.10 was tested more extensively against hackage/stackage than any previous release of Haskell by far!), the others require various degrees of engineering effort, including some way to deal with refactoring code that already has CPP in it, more extensive build-bot services, etc. and those sort of non-trivial artifacts just haven't been forthcoming. =/ I would be very happy if those things showed up, however. -Edward
