Getting back to Haskell after giving up three years ago.

I am running Linux Mint 17.1.

Why is the Haskell Platform for linux (or my distro anyway) stuck at 2013? I see that ghc is several versions newer than what comes with Haskell Platform. That seems like a rather severe lag.

Why is that? Does it matter?

Best,
