To be honest this feels very risky to me, and I'm having grave doubts
that anything other than a full transition is good enough. I can quite
easily see this introducing unforseen regressions that are only picked
up once Intrepid is released and people start hammering on it seriously.
We then get into SRUs which are a lot of hassle for many people. I don't
want people to think that Ubuntu is a broken platform for Haskell (yes,
I know that the presence of this bug introduces a degree of breakage but
IMO it's not as severe as the risk of the fix).
So consider this my vote for no change without a full transition (and
then we may as well go to 6.8.3). This is clearly unfortunate for Darcs
but I believe that the risks outweigh the potential benefits.
