I'm not sure why so many people make a fuss about the Haskell Platform not having a release... I can understand not _communicating_ this by updating the website, but is it really that big a deal (especially as there's no reasons for Linux distro packagers to stick solely to Haskell Platform releases)?

Haskell Platform appears to be the face of haskell. This appearance could be wrong, but it's certainly the most well-designed and professional appearing haskell page I'd seen. So: claiming a release, then not hitting it, then not even getting around to retracting the claim, for months on end. If that's the peak performance of the haskell bunch putting on their best PR face, then that suggests the community is moribund. From that PR look, there's no way to distinguish between that impression and (say) a thriving collection of frequently maintained codebases. The latter seems closer to correct. That's why people care about it. - Allen S. Rout
