depend on API versions (including minor versions) that you haven't tested, or (b) use explicit import lists and allow minor version changes only. Incedentally, this reminds me that GHC should have a warning for not using explicit import lists (perhaps only for external package imports).
Which reminds me that it would be nice to be able to ask for a list of what imports I need to specify (i.e. what names from the module are actually used). A case in point would be the example of "non- monadic I/O" I sent to the list the other day: I wanted to specify minimal imports, but couldn't think of a way to do it aside from specifying very small import lists and iteratively adding things as the compile failed.
(This may actually already exist and I don't know enough ghc options to do it....)
