Ben, https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8244 is what you're referring to, I think.

Quoting from Simon Peyton-Jones:

I would love to remove this dependency. Having it implies that GHC depends on heavy-duty Cabal functionality, but of course it doesn't at all. It means that we have to compile all 60+ modules of Cabal before even starting on GHC. It seems wrong.

So, more power to you! I have no opinions about the details -- just wanting to be encouraging.

We just need to do it.
