you could host your own mirror of hackage and ask folks to list your mirror before the primary :) cabal-install and hackage-server provide support for this! and in some respects, that even more transparent/understandable for end users than branching name spaces but name spaces are a topic for another thread On Sun, May 11, 2014 at 4:10 PM, Roman Cheplyaka wrote:

I will continue to maintain my fork, as I don't want this situation to repeat in the future.

That doesn't make much sense to me, though. You've got what you wanted: the patch you needed has been applied!

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'.
