As promised, here are our plans for forthcoming GHC releases and the git
switchover:
- do a 7.0.2 RC as soon as possible, followed shortly by a release.
Currently blocking this is a problem with Cabal that shows up on
OS X 10.6, we hope to have this resolved soon.
- switch the GHC repo

This would be particularly cool because Cmm optimisations in the new

Point taken, I personally think it's rather minor although it was
brought up before like I said, so perhaps others think differently.
Either way, I, for one, welcome our new version control overlord.

Hi Austin,
The compiler plugins work is a great, and I'd be a likely user. The

GHC plans. Anybody who has comments on the plugins work is encouraged
to reply here, not there.)
Neil,
Preemptive TL;DR: I don't quite know, but I'd be willing to work on it.

AFAIK it is meant to work. What I'm not sure about is whether any of
the plugins code will have to be modified to make use of it. I suspect
it won't since IIRC I went through the GHCi sym
