Even with that flag, we'd still have a bit of a problem. It would be nice if cabal could ignore an upper bound on template-haskell, but respect an upper bound on some other package that *can* be installed with a newer GHC. Perhaps adding that flexibility to cabal would be possible.

I think that's a call for soft bounds (known to work with) and hard bounds (known to not work with) and the flag '--allow-newer' would be only allowed to overwrite the soft bounds. Greetings, Daniel
