Hi Ian, Thanks for putting together the proposal. If we will now be using git submodules for external libraries, can we not just use submodules for all libraries? That way the GHC repo hash will uniquely specify everything needed to reproduce a build. Right now it is painful to do any sort of bisect operation---doing so requires digging through build logs to find fingerprint files for past builds. It looks like the proposal will leave us with the pain of fingerprints and add the additional pain of git submodules. I am very much in favor of just using submodules for everything.
