Hi Magnus,
is there a reason for dropping those packages? If some package fail to build in ghc 7.6 we will lost as well many packages in [haskell-extra].
The only reason is that they require non-obvious patches to build with GHC 7.6.
I'm concerned especially about gtk, pandoc and wai/warp: they are needed for packages like hakyll, gitit and the yesod suite among others.
Indeed, and especially removal of pandoc pains me a bit.
If there aren't important reasons to switch to 7.6, could you please wait a little more before make this change?
The goal is of course to re-add them ASAP. I don't mind waiting longer, but then I'm very unlikely to do any updates to [haskell], and instead put my efforts into [haskell-testing]. /M
