package authors who would need to maintain further GHC
compatibility with their most recent releases.
* I've had some private discussions around this, and thought I should share the
idea here. Right now, Stackage requires that any package added must be
available on Hackage. A number of newer build systems have been going the route
of allowing packages to be present only in a Git repository. Stack has built-in
support for specifying such locations, but snapshots do not support it. Should
we add support to Stackage to allow packages to be pulled from places besides
Hackage?
* Pros: knocks down another barrier to entry for publishing packages.
* Cons: Stackage snapshots will not automatically work with cabal-install
anymore, extra work to be done to make this functional, and some issues
around determining who owns a package name need to be worked out.
There are likely other changes that I haven't mentioned, feel free to
raise them in the comments below. Also, if anyone really wants to
