I don't think this is enough data to make such a conclusion.
GHC 7.6.2 may have fixes for bugs that are present in GHC 7.6.1, for
example.

So we need to compare the fixed bugs versus regressions in 7.6.2 to make
the choice.

(OTOH, the looping bug is a nasty one, if you ask me, and is difficult
to debug.)
