The Haskell.org committee is considering removing the "alternative installation options" section from the [downloads page of haskell.org](https://www.haskell.org/downloads/) and we seek the opinion of the community. If you would like to share your opinion we prefer that you do so [on the haskell.org issue tracker](https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org/issues/170), but failing that, in this email thread is fine too.
### Background
The [downloads page of haskell.org](https://www.haskell.org/downloads/) suggests using ghcup and stack to obtain a toolchain. These two tools are widely used in the community, actively maintained and kept up-to-date. The page also provides a number of "alternative installation options" (see below, or on the page itself, for the list).
Huh, why does this page say
To install stack, follow the instructions here (N.B. stack does not support FreeBSD)
? Stack works on FreeBSD just fine for a long time.
