Because not everyone has access to the latest and greatest hardware? (Which attitude is showing just a bit of privilege.) At CMU I got to ride herd on a rather astonishing collection of ancient hardware; I wouldn't be looking to install ghc8 on much of it either, since usually upgrading the OS is no-go and I'd have to backport a lot of stuff to get it --- and, even more so, packages using it --- to build at all.

It's that time again. I'd very much like to drop containers support for GHC version 7.0 (so I can increase the lower bound on array to 0.4 for Safe Haskell-related reasons). I'd also prefer to drop support for GHC versions 7.2 and 7.4, but I'm somewhat open to being convinced not to. What do you all think?
I am still mainly using GHC-7.4.2.
I'm rather curious why! _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
