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.
