We're not introducing dependencies on dynamically linked system libraries that makes tooling hard to distribute. We're not asking users to install anything new that isn't already a staple of most developer desktops
My sole concern with this is that git is often not present on build servers, which may be minimal cloud VMs. Here's what I get when I try to install git on mine: # apt install git --no-install-recommends ...

Not unbearable, but not insignificant either. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Improvements-to-package-hosting-and-sec...
