Hey all,
What are the oldest ghc versions folks are actually using to build software they actually use ? What are the contexts for these ?
I know a lot of library maintainers, myself included try to make it easy to suport as wide a version range of ghc as possible. In my case I find it useful to just have another way to evaluate how stable I can make a library.
That said, what actual old ghc versions are folks actually using?
Afaict, the oldest ghc currently in a lts linux distro is ghc 7.0 in centos 6
Then centos 7 and the oldest Ubuntu lts are 7.6, then more recent distros plus most other os platforms like the bsds are on 8.0-8.4 as the oldest supported / provided ghc.
Who are the users today and how important are they for todays library maintainers ?
