+Packaging Haskell software has proven difficult in Gentoo: many packages are
+outdated, unstable versions have not been stabilized in nearly a year, and
+stable versions are rather old.
+
+In an effort to reduce the load on the Haskell maintainers, stable keywords
+will be removed from dev-haskell/* packages and their reverse dependencies on
+October 1.
+
+Users with Haskell packages should add entries to their package.accept_keywords
+for these packages to avoid issues rebuilding or upgrading them in the future.
+
+This change does not preclude stabilizing Haskell packages in the future.
+
+Haskell packaging is mostly taking place in the Haskell repository [1].
