I want to change the interface to PatSyn.patSynSig, as part of fixing a bug in 7.8.2. But Haddock calls patSynSig, so there is a (fairly trivial) knock on change to Haddock Is that acceptable in a 7.8.3 release cycle?
There are already some Haddock changes going into 7.8.3 anyway so I don't see why not as long as someone can push it into the ghc-7.8 branch. The only thing to watch out for is that this branch is separate from the current master branch so the fix has to be applied on both.
If not, I can program round it in the 7.8.3 branch. But if it's not a problem, it'd be a bit easier just to make the change in Haddock? (Really Haddock has to be co-released with GHC, since it depends on many internal GHC details.) Simon
