Two smaller points:

Well I think I downplayed the second bullet too much

The release should mention the minimum boot version is 9.6? (hadrian also requires Cabal-3.10)
(because of this I can't build yet for Fedora, until I update to ghc-9.6)

It is actually kind of a big deal in the sense I can build ghc9.8 for all current Fedora releases and EPEL 9 (ie for RHEL 9)

but 9.10 will only be buildable for Fedora 41 (which should be released late 2024) ie the next next release of Fedora and on.

Well the only way would be to maybe backport Cabal-3.10 to current releases but that is rather messy,

or find a simple workaround for setting CABAL_FLAG envvar's.

If this is the state of affairs it starts to feel more appropriate to call this release 10.0...
