[...] So this just means that Cabal isn't necessarily *future compatible* with future GHCs - they may change the package format, etc. But it is backwards compatible with existing ones.

OK, that's good to know. To be sure, I've just tested Cabal head + GHC 7.8.3, and it works. But as I've mentioned already, there seems to be *no* Cabal version which works with GHC head: https://travis-ci.org/haskell-opengl/StateVar/builds/39533448 Is this known to the Cabal people?

Yes, I know that the Cabal test suite wasn't passing on GHC HEAD for some time. Re: the next release - I think it'll be out at the same time with GHC 7.10.1.
