If this was reccomended practice, then I must have missed where it was documented. In particular, the "Upgrading packages to work with recent Cabal and GHC versions" link from haskell.org/cabal leads to http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Upgrading_packages, which suggests: """ library if flag(splitBase) build-depends: base >= 3, containers else build-depends: base < 3 """ Unless my understanding is wrong, this will consume base-4 while ignoring your new compatibility base-3. Where should Haskellers be looking to find these reccomendations, if not on the official Cabal site?
