Note that Chocolatey is just option for installing GHC. Our Chocolatey packaging is generously maintained by Tamar as a convenient way to bring up GHC on Windows. However, we certainly wouldn't rely on it exclusively.
Users who don't want to use Chocolatey are encouraged to use the usual binary distributions [1], as in the past.
Just wanted to let everyone know that cabal-install also doesn't require Chocolatey to be installed on Windows: you can just download a binary from https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html.
