My questions at this point are:

* What are the reasons that hackage-server must be upgraded to Cabal 3?
* What are the reasons that make this upgrade difficult?
* Can publishing to hackage be considered a proper part of the ghc release process in the future?

Perhaps Herbert could pitch in with an explanation because I think a lot of
people will be feeling quite puzzled at this point.
