I'm not going to suggest which action Arch should take; instead, I'm
going to say what I am going to do.  GHC 7.4 is still to new for my
production systems, and I can't develop on a different version.  So,
if Arch moves to 7.4 right now, I'll need to download GHC 7.0
separately and use virthualenv.

Cheers!
