The recent release of ghc 7.10.2 reminded me of something I meant to
ask about a long time ago. Most of the binaries ghc installs are
versioned (x linked to x-7.10.2), with some exceptions (hpc and
hsc2hs). Shouldn't they all be versioned? Also, 'haddock' is
inconsistent with all the rest, in

[...] The only thing I find missing is the ability to install a binary
distribution without overwriting the existing symlinks (e.g. ghc -
ghc-7.8.4).
I second the OP's request and Reid's one: I think the binary distributions
for *nices should neither contain unversioned executables nor
