So the question is: When do we want 7.4.1 in unstable? Right then? Shortly after? When the first platform release with 7.4.1 appears (which might be in May, but the platform release has been unreliable and that is quite a short time before the freeze)? Not before the wheeze freeze? > > > > I think it should be as soon as possibly to have the most time to get > > things in shape for wheezy. > > > > Exactly my thought.

It will be uninstallable in sid until a new platform is released, and no further Haskell packages will enter testing until that is the case. If the platform is then not released in time for the freeze, wheezy would still ship with 7.0.4. We could mitigate that by having a platform package with non-official versions that include 7.4.1, but if that ends up being shipped with wheezy, we would not support the platform properly.
