Comingling of c and Haskell code of incompatible licenses is way harder to do by accident than Haskell and Haskell. 

Every arms length subsystem volunteers have to maintain is more complexity to juggle. 

Solution : let someone get angry enough that they volunteer to fix it and encourage them.  

If it’s frustrating, help fix it.

I find it strangely inconsistent that using cpphs is found to be
problematic because of its GPL license, while using the equally GPL
licensed gcc C preprocessor is not. Can anyone shed light on this?
