And that would help with including/updating some packages that have non-trivial configure. As for the other large updates, like GHC and updating core packages, I will let others speak to. But with a separate branch we could start with getting GHC 8.10.x built and moving packages to newer stackage resolvers (lts 17 or 18?). Thanks, John
