Interesting approach. I guess Linux distributions like Debian will then also stick to GHC LTS releases. Btw. I think GHC-9.14 is the first GHC release with such a high second version number. We had GHC-6.12, GHC-7.10, GHC-8.10. In my memory, GHC-7 was the version range for consolidating type families, GHC-8 was the version range for consolidating kind level extensions, GHC-9 could have been the version range for dependent types, maybe GHC-10 will.
Still seems to me that dependent types is taking long enough that 10 won't be it unless we don't have anything else big going in. That said, bgamari was grouching enough about release complications around 9.10 that I wonder if we'll see 10.0 without a big change. ☺ On Wed, Jul 16, 2025 at 4:53 PM Henning Thielemann < lemming@henning-thielemann.de> wrote:

GHC-9 brought us linear types. :)
It did bring a rework of the GHC API's module hierarchy that was deemed sufficiently big to warrant a new major release family. :) Le 16/07/2025 à 23:39, Tom Smeding a écrit :
