means we can't drop GHC 6.6 support. Also, note that Lenny has 6.8, and it is scheduled to become stable Real Soon Now.

Ok, it all depends on when the next release of darcs will be ready and when I (or someone else) gets ghc-6.8 or 6.10 done for OpenBSD (yes, I'm working on this, even after I dropped maintainership from our ghc port). I *hope* to get a working ghc-6.10 port for OpenBSD to the end of this year, and I guess that's a short enough timeline that darcs could drop 6.6 support if it's really necessary. Ciao, Kili
