-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Problem: A frequent usecase for especially base is browsing the haddocks online on hackage (I do this myself sometimes). A frequent associated pain with this is remembering which base version corresponds to which GHC version (I feel this myself sometimes). Current solution: Consult the boot library version chart[0]. An additional step -- where there needn't be one -- may annoy the user. Furthermore, if they don't know about the chart then they're essentially lost; which usually leads to them consulting another user - -- and now we've wasted a little time for *two* of our users for no real good reason. I conjecture that this happens quite often. Which means our culmination of GHC-related time waste eventually adds up quite a bit, detracting from the overall experience. Proposed improvement: Add "[library]-[library version] is bundled with ghc-[GHC version]." in the description string of [library].cabal. This immediately clears up the confusion when looking at [library]'s hackage page.
