have you tried installing a newer version of containers yourself globally, and making the other one hidden? Or just making the global one ghc comes with hidden? On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Ryan Newton <rrnewton@gmail.com> wrote:

Replacing containers seems like a real pain for end users
Is it a real pain? Why?
One thing I ran into is that cabal sandboxes want consistent dependencies. And when users get to this point where they need to grab our latest containers, they've got a bunch of core/haskell platform packages that depend on the old containers.
I didn't mean that there was anything difficult about containers itself, just that almost everything else depends on it.
