may be it's not too late to just rerelease GHC? especially if hooks interface in current cabal version don't planned to change in foreseeable future. having common cabal interface for 6.4.2 and 6.6 will be a great thing
I think that re-releasing SW with varying functionality/APIs under the same release number is the worst one can do, as this will only cause confusion ("Which GHC 6.4.2 are you talking about in your bug report?" etc.). A 6.4.3 release seems to be the more appropriate way and the amount of work involved is the same.
We hadn't planned to do a 6.4.3 release, but given the problems emerging in 6.4.2 on some platforms (Solaris, MacOS X, FreeBSD), it might be a good thing to do one. Cheers, Simon
