Not quite. What I want is that this situation (package remaining uninstallable for a non-trivial amount of time) never happens again. I don't want to go through this process next time something breaks in 'temporary'.
Are you using cabal freeze?
There only seems like 2 situations where this event should be a problem.
1) As an application author you really want to upgrade exceptions to 0.6 in your code base and can't wait 2 weeks for things to stabilize. 2) As a library author you really want to release an update that allows for exceptions to 0.6
I am curious what the case is and if introducing cabal freeze could help out.
In this case I'm speaking as an open source library author, whose library depends on temporary. So no, cabal freeze can't help here. Roman
