I could very well imagine stackage being a rolling something, i.e. always providing the latest set of packages that is internally consistent and includes the required packages. Freezing certains states of stackages and calling that a release is of course possible, but just creates more overlap with what the HP and the distros is doing. Also, releases could be done later. First get stackage working in a rolling fashion and include a relevant number of packages. Then see if there is a demand of define repository states. > I'm in favor of including as many packages as possible. How about: Many generally useful packages as possible. Hackage contains many packages that are just experiments or academic proof of concept codes that are only interesting for people looking at the code, but not for people looking for usable libraries (which is fine, hackage is a good place for that, and I also have uploaded such package there). Since making that decision is also something that currently all distro have to do, bundling our resources by making that distinction in stackage would be great.
