So my word of warning here is: if we simply throw multiple package/version/dependency combinations at users via cabal, there's a good chance that we'll do more harm than good.

Nevertheless, the best way to find out is to actually try it by implementing it... if in fact it doesn't work out as well as expected, we don't have to ship it :-)
