We need to publish a new cabal-install 0.16 release shortly, ideally before GHC 7.6.1 and the next Haskell Platform come out. At the very least, there's a newish incompatibility between GHC 7.6 and cabal-install that causes all -Werror builds to fail because cabal-install uses a deprecated package flag. This was fixed back in May, but that needs to actually go out into the wild. Stepping back, I'd also like to suggest that we move to a quarterly release cycle on a simple, widely used model. A major goal here is to get code into people's hands on a predictable schedule. We maintain two branches, stable and master. Master freezes a month before a release, with only bugfixes and typo fixes going in. At release time, the stable branch opens (in case any emergency fixes are needed), and master opens up for normal development again. Johan and I are happy to do the work to manage these cycles. I suggest that we start the first cycle with a target release date of the end of September, then go four months to the next one (after all, it would be unrealistic to pretend that we might do a release at the end of December). Does this sound reasonable?
