<div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">The fact that GHC needs to have its own containers shouldn't prevent a consistent package set from using a different one. The only hypothetical problem would be if the GHC API leaked containers types, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't: they're all wrapped up in newtypes and exported abstractly, unless someone's made a mistake.</span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Apr 1, 2017 6:09 PM, "Sven Panne" <<a href="mailto:svenpanne@gmail.com">svenpanne@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">2017-04-01 20:53 GMT+02:00 David Feuer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.feuer@gmail.com" target="_blank">david.feuer@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">It's come to my attention that Stackage doesn't have the latest and greatest versions of containers.
