What is really required is a "pluggable" back-end infrastructure - whereby various back-ends could be maintained (or not) at the discretion of their originators and separate to the official ghc back-ends.
I guess I'm confused; I thought the current back-end system *was* that kind of pluggable architecture. I recall a JVM backend being proposed based on it some time back.
