I don't have a strong opinion on which version of wx should be supported by wxHaskell, as long as there is at least one that works on Windows without the need to compile wxWidgets from source. Until there is a wxPack available for 2.9 I fear that the majority of Windows users will be stuck with wxHaskell versions that work with 2.8.
That aside, focusing on supporting a single version of wxWidgets sounds like a reasonable thing to do.
