I think we are making a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill here.
It's not even as if 'vector' was in a terrible state; we intend to
kick off the HP process for it shortly, so it soon will be a HP package.
I suggest that it might be simpler just to let sleeping dogs lie and
do what we did with GHC 6.12; ie ship with GHC but as a hidden package.
Is it still true that packages shipped with GHC can't be sanely upgraded
to a later Haskell-Platform version?
That's only the case for packages that GHC itself depends on, because
the GHC package can't be built by cabal-install.
In fact, we've now decided not to include the DPH packages with the GHC
release, and instead make them build with Cabal and upload them to
Hackage, so this makes the problem go away.
Cheers,
Simon
