opposed to the "stable release" philosophy of the Platform. They will package latest versions of everything, not a "stable release". You *cannot* satisfy their requirements with the Platform; ignore them.

I would say it depends on what you mean by “latest”, since one answer could be “latest haskell-platform”. Does Arch Linux ship the latest Python packages, even if an older version is included in the stdlib of the latest Python release?

There isn't a separate "Python" and "Python Platform". Packages that ship with Python are maintained in Python's repository. Those that are also maintained separately usually have another package/module name altogether so both can be installed without interfering with one another. -bob
