Good point.  My "Why?" was meant to be objective, as in "I see there are
reasons, but which ones are YOU thinking of?" but I accidentally started

I especially see the benefit in ACADEMIA, where you can teach against
haskell-platform version N and not have to care what OS/distro the
students are using at home.
