There has been some discussion on haskell-platform & libraries mailing list about the suitability of GHC 7.6.2 for the upcoming HP 2013.2.

In particular, http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7748 That does actually look quite nasty. Would a 7.6.3 that fixed that and had no other changes be acceptable? Simon, do you know if there is a reasonably non-invasive fix for that bug? And do you think it would be worth a micro-release? Thanks Ian
