I don't have a horse in this race, as I usually install both GHC and
darcs from source - but when you say "the last two stable branches of
GHC" does that mean as soon as 6.14 is released 6.10 is then a
candidate to be dropped?
Maybe the better "drop day" is when the platform is released and the
newest version can be considered widely available.
