Hi Willem,
I think the official policy is to support GHC 6.8 and onwards -- but according to the README, xmonad supports GHC all the way back to 6.6. I doubt anyone has tried building on such an old GHC in a while, but if you want a rule of thumb: the extensions you use should be no more than what's supported by 6.6. I'm not sure about the policy for xmonad-contrib, but it's probably similar.
I think this was to support an old version of GHC that was in a LTS release of Ubuntu; is that version (of Ubuntu) still supported? I wonder whether it makes sense to at least assume base >= 4 nowadays. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
