Btw, are there any Linux distribution release out there which have not

(The EPEL 5 repo for RHEL5 and derivatives still has ghc-6.12.3
but RHEL5 is also getting old...: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/ghc
I guess Debian squeeze (oldstable) also has it... shrug)
 
Or put differently, how many active GHC <=6.12.x users are there, which
haven't upgraded GHC but still want to upgrade Cabal & cabal-install?

Yeah that is probably the right question...
My guess would be a small fraction.
