It also affects people like me who want to parse the package descriptions of the core libraries without depending on bleeding edge Cabal features.
By the same logic, `base` and `integer-gmp` shouldn't be allowed to use the latest GHC features because you might want to parse them with `haskell-src-exts`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14558#comment:33 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
