Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.2 Release Candidate 1

We plan to make the 7.10.2 final release at the end of this coming week - so please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

Could I possibly draw attention to #10491 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10491? It's a regression in the simplifier that is causing considerable pain for Accelerate, namely a compile time of many hours for a 300 line module. It would be unfortunate if this couldn't be resolved for the 7.10.2 release.
