(1) Ok, thinking about it, it would probably Ok to merge it in

If the 3 options are:
1) Merge before 6.10
2) Merge just after 6.10
3) Merge some time before 6.12
then I would vote for 1.
2 is a pain for merging fixes to the stable branch, and 3 is a pain for
merging fixes from the HEAD.
Also, I expect the number of GHC API clients is going to grow rather
than shrink, so if we're going to break them all at some point then we
should do it sooner rather than later.
I concur with Ian. If we also port Haddock, and the changes pass the
testsuite, I don't see a good reason why we shouldn't bring this in now.
But it better be now (i.e. next week), otherwise we're too close to RC.
Cheers,
Simon
