Is there a specific reason why we’re following the Stackage releases? Stackage is one step slower in getting the updates. The current Stackage Nightly is 9.8.2, while Hackage has 9.10.1. Is this due to some stability issues with Hackage? Regards, -- Divya Ranjan, Philosophy, Mathematics, Libre Software.
