Not GHC; the HP installer removes old copies of the platform
libraries. That's likely to break your old GHC setup though. What should
it do instead?

The platform installer is supposed to erase previous platform
editions before it installs itself.
I would consider that a serious bug.

especially when the desirability of the feature is in question.

1. Why can't the platform download site be hosted on www.haskell.org instead
