G'day all.
Why is it GHC "5.02.2", "5.03" etc.? Wouldn't it be easier with "5.2.2", "5.3"?

I don't know, probably historical reasons: as far as I can remember, GHC's version numbers always had two digits after the decimal point.
At least until you get into two-digit major version numbers, this way of doing things makes the filenames appear in version order when you type 'ls'. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
