The (questionable) popularity argument is completely off-topic and irrelevant to the issue at hand. Releasing a quickfixed GHC 8.4.3 would still undermine the whole idea of Stack's "LTS" snapshot releases and its (imperfect) "reproducability" concept, as this problem isn't limited to GHC 8.4.* but rather extends back to GHC 8.2.1. As such I see no reason for yet another rushed quickfix release of GHC, for something that *must* be fixed on Stack's end anyway in order to be effective. And it would be quite laughable if Stack wasn't in a better position to release a quick fix than for GHC HQ to make a full compiler release (which I have to emphasize wouldn't be sufficient anyway for users that are forced to use Stack and their GHC 8.[24].[12] snapshots to keep working with the affected GCC versions)... ;-) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15068#comment:29 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
