Re: Tentative high-level plans for 7.10.1

Excerpts from Herbert Valerio Riedel's message of 2014-10-08 00:59:40 -0600:

However, should GHC 7.8.x turn out to become a LTS-ishly maintained branch, we may want to consider converting it to a similiar Git structure as GHC HEAD currently is, to avoid having to keep two different sets of instructions on the GHC Wiki for how to work on GHC 7.8 vs working on GHC HEAD/7.10 and later.

Emphatically yes. Lack of submodules on the 7.8 branch makes working with it /very/ unpleasant. Edward
