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.
