<div dir="ltr">Great! A submodule makes a lot more sense to me, at least short term. I would hope that medium term the development processes of GHC-as-a-whole and Hadrian(-a-part-of-GHC) can converge, so that a submodule is no longer necessary. Submodules do have their downsides and it would be odd for such a core part as the build system to be kept external to the main repo.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">--<br>Mathieu Boespflug<br>Founder at <a href="http://tweag.io" target="_blank">http://tweag.io</a>.</div></div>
