Well.... based on Christian's excellent news, looks to mee like there is a candidate for a GHC-7.6.3. And so it sounds like that should pick up Cabal-1.16.0.3.

I'd like to limit the micro-bumps as much as possible, is that it, everyone?
​
I'd also like to double confirm with all concerned that we agree that this bug in GHC was serious enough to hold the Platform for (only a week), and deal with potential "last minute scrambling" from library devs and packagers that may result. I don't anticipate any real issue, but we are accepting the risk and stepping up to deal with any.

For the record: I'm thumbs up.
