For future releases I plan to drop most of these. Any opinions about how far back it should support?
I'm thinking restricting it to either 7.4+ or 7.6+, but I'm open to keeping support for older versions too if there's a real need.
Personally, I think supporting GHC 7.0+ is a natural boundary, as GHC 7.0.1 was the first to support Haskell2010. Are there any specific GHC 7.4+ features you want to use, or any other inconveniences (other than keeping an ghc-7.0.4 entry in the travis.yml file) that would increase the cost to keep supporting GHC 7.0.x?
