> As you say we lose --exact-version.

If we throw out the sdist hooks we can build with cabal-3. In that case
I think we can keep --exact-version, it just won't work when compiling
an archive that was created with 'cabal sdist'. I don't think many
people use 'cabal sdist'.

> manpage generation.

I guess distribution packagers can (and will) call 'darcs help manpage'
in some post-install script.

There should be a clear warning in the release notes if we remove this
from Setup.hs. Ahem, do we have release notes?
