<div style><br></div><div style>doing an HP release now will push back the release timeline of an HP version with 7.8 that has full first class support for 10.9 clang quirks + the win64 fixes that are landing in head this past week, along with a whole slew of other ecosystem amazing improvements.</div>

Really I would like to see a HP release now *and* one after 7.8.1! :)</div>
<div>I think HP beta releases should follow each ghc release</div><div>and there can be additional point release updates as needed</div><div>between major ghc releases. The stable HP release would come</div><div>from the latest stable ghc release. So ideally we could have an</div>

<div>RCs with binaries once tested could be promoted to stable releases.</div></div></div></div>
