Personally, I'd vote for a soon-ish 7.8.3 release for things which already have a working good/low-risk fix in ghc-7.8, so the next HP can go with 7.8.3 instead of using the known-to-be-suboptimal 7.8.2
It's not certain that the HP team will be able to wait for that, even if 7.8.3 is released within a week. It would require yet another round of version tweaks, re-testing, etc. Given how dreadfully delayed the HP release is already, that would be a difficult decision to make.
What kind of version tweaks are you thinking about? (Afaics, the GHC bundled libraries don't have any version bumps.)
