Re: Fwd: Is anything being done to remedy the soul crushing compile times of GHC?

Here's a thought: has anyone experience with limiting a certain major release to just bug fixes and perf regression fixes, while postponing all feature patches? It sounds like a good idea on paper, but has anyone seen it work, and would this be something to consider for GHC? I'm not suggesting the even/odd versioning scheme, if anyone wonders. These don't work so well and nobody tests odd versions.
