If BBP is going to be released as-is, can we please call the next release GHC 8.0?

Isn't this actually detailing changes to base rather than GHC as a compiler?

Good stuff: http://semver.org/

Thanks, Greg

Hello *,

as much as I welcome these changes to the Prelude kitchen sink, I'm confused about how this does not make the release a major version bump. It changes half of the functions exposed by default in a dramatic way, after all. Do we want to keep GHC 8 for a new Report?
