it is one solution, applied to a few other packages as well, e.g. hlint
– see there for a how to do it consistently.

Another approach would be to find out (e.g. ask upstream) if yesod makes
sense on a non-threaded runtime. If it turns out that it is hardly
useful, then it is better to remove yesod on sparce.

If that needs to be done, then the cleanest solution might be to have
ghc Provide ghc-threaded (similar to ghc-ghci), and have packages build
depend on ghc-threaded to signal that they need the threaded runtime.
This allows better centralized changes than manually maintaining the
architecture list in each affect source package.

Greetings,
Joachim
