Yikes that sounds bad!
I just wanted to raise awareness and offer myself to do guided grunt work (if there is any) to push out a hotfix/inplace patch release for GHC 8.0.2.
Help would be fantastic. Phyx, Ben, etc: do we have a plan?

Subject: Windows 10 Creators Update will break GHC (Was FW: GHC on Windows 10 15019+)
Hi,
when the Creators Update finally hits Windows 10 stable on April 11th (next week), every currently available GHC will be broken by it.
See [1] for the previous discussion, [2] and [3] for the tickets discussing this. From what I read on the GHC 8.2 status wiki page, there might be an interval of some weeks where it will not be possible to compile a Haskell program on any up-to-date Windows
10 installation.
I just wanted to raise awareness and offer myself to do guided grunt work (if there is any) to push out a hotfix/inplace patch release for GHC 8.0.2.
Greetings,
Sebastian
