Re: more releases

having a large number of versions of GHC out there can make it difficult for library authors, package curators, and large open source projects, due to variety of what people are using.

For point releases, if we do it right, this *should* not happen, since the changes *should* be backwards-compatible and so testing against the oldest release on the current major version *should* mean all subsequent point releases work as well. IMHO, any violation of this assumption *should* be considered a (serious) bug.
