Secondly, I'd like to make clear what I think the goal for the downloads page should be: new users. Experienced Haskellers are unlikely to even visit this downloads page, and are likely well aware of the situation around tooling to make an informed decision regardless of what this page says. I'd like us to constrain discussion to "what's best for a new user." I haven't heard anyone object to this idea before.

I couldn't agree more, Michael. The new user is first in my mind with all of this. Perhaps we need a poll. So far the presented options are: 1. HP Stack Minimal 2. Stack HP Minimal 3. Stack Minimal HP 4. Minimal HP Stack 5. Minimal Stack HP I'll open voting at the current state, choosing #4. My reason is that HP and Stack will soon merge, and I'm willing to put Minimal first based on Christopher's and Gershom's arguments. Further, the reason HP is staying on the list for now is that I'd prefer not to conflate issues. I'm happy to start a new discussion, recommending to the committee that we remove HP, if others wish to. John
