However, upgrading Cabal might still cause problems for GHC, because our build system relies on knowing what version of GHC you're building with to know what version of Cabal you're using. This is not really Cabal's problem.

Hmm. I guess this can't be determined at GHC's build time. What is this info used for?

I just mean that GHC's build system is going to have to cope with different versions of the Cabal package, independently of the GHC version installed. In the future, this will be the case for all packages that GHC depends on, too. Cheers, Simon
