Yes, it seems unnecessary to update this. Consider the X11 package the first that has been updated for ghc 6.8 on hackage :) > Since we're moving to a model where extralibs is just a bundling of > existing releases rather than necessarily fresh releases itself, then we > do not need to re-release existing packages where there have been no > changes, we can just use the existing packages as is.

Right, exactly the model we want, I think. > For example, I've already released Cabal-1.2.1 and binary-0.9. Ross and > Don have already released arrows-0.3 and X11-1.2.3.
