3.7 can now be removed, because ghc 8.2 (using 3.9) is now in unstable and built. I also uploaded ghc 8.4 that uses llvm 5.0, so maybe we will move forward in a few weeks with this one. For llvm 6.0, I'm sorry but it won't be probably be a real plan for one year or so... I hope this is enough for now, I see 3.8,3.9 are blocked by other reverse-dependencies and 5.0 is fairly new now. Let me know, or close this bug if you think this is ok for now! Gianfranco
