LTS-5.0 in week (news on /r/haskell), *throws hands up in the air* How comes such important news is on reddit?

Only with horrible hacks, such as a version number "0.10really0.9", which might break some of our team-specific tools, or adding an epoch number in front, which we have to carry forever (but which our tools support).

Well, we should still fix any outstanding problems that we can fix, who knows if the stackage guys can deliver in time. And next time, we should make better use of our tools to avoid such problems: Prepare a large (i.e. LTS-bump) transition on a branch of the package plan, then prepare the packaging on a branch of the packages repo, using "dht make-all" to test this without affecting the archive, and only when there are no problems there, merge the branches into master and upload everything to the archive.
