As the oldest currently active branch, it is currently a priority to retire the 8.10 branch of GHC from active development as soon as possible.
With talk of retiring the 8.10 branch, I think it might be worthwhile to remind folks that GHC 8.10(.6) is still the most recent release that is suitable for production use. GHC 9.0.1 is *not* suitable for production use due to major issues, and GHC 9.0.2 is not ready yet. Major GHC 9.0.1 issues: * https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2021-March/133540.html * https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19345 * https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19976 GHC 9.0.2 progress: * https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/milestones/367 Thank you to the GHC developers for great progress. Four active branches does indeed sound daunting. I hope that the GHC 8.10.7 release goes well, and I am really looking forward to a production-ready release of GHC 9 whenever it is ready! Cheers, Travis
