I can understand that. But by the same reasoning, I’d really like to have GHC-7.10 in unstable right now. Why do I not upload it? Because unless we give up on Haskell in Debian stable, getting our packages (and _all_ of them at the same time) into a releasable state at one is the biggest issue and usually, unfortunately, the priority. Note that currently, well over 95% of our packages are in a good shape; it’s the few odd packages that keep holding up the process. If it were not for them, I guess we’d have GHC-7.8 in testing already and could happily attack the next wave of package upgrades. Maybe aiming for Stackage LTS is indeed too slow, in that case we could aim to follow Stackage nightlies, which would pick up new upstream releases much faster, I believe. > 1.14 packaging work has been pushed to master git branch.

How do you feel about uploading pandoc 1.14 to experimental? Worth the extra effort? It may or may not be possible depending on how many and which packages would have to be uploaded to experimental along with it.
