Comment 25 for bug 263773

To be honest this feels very risky to me, and I'm having grave doubts that anything other than a full transition is good enough. I can quite easily see this introducing unforseen regressions that are only picked up once Intrepid is released and people start hammering on it seriously. We then get into SRUs which are a lot of hassle for many people. I don't want people to think that Ubuntu is a broken platform for Haskell (yes, I know that the presence of this bug introduces a degree of breakage but IMO it's not as severe as the risk of the fix).

So consider this my vote for no change without a full transition (and then we may as well go to 6.8.3). This is clearly unfortunate for Darcs but I believe that the risks outweigh the potential benefits.
