The question of how to support rapid innovation and stable deployment is not an us versus them problem. It is one of staging releases. The Linux kernel is a really good example. The Linux development team innovates faster than the community can absorb it. The same was true of the GNU team. Distributions addressed the gap by staging releases.
In that case, what you are interested in is not Hackage (the too-fast torrent of development) but rather the Haskell Platform (a policed set of stable/core libraries with staged releases). I forget who the best person to contact is these days if you want to get involved with helping the HP, but I'm sure someone on the list will say shortly :) -- Live well, ~wren
