Actually, there _has_ been a lot of effort to both fix the Haskell Platform
and - in the interim - get it off of the main download page. For example:

https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-community/2015-September/000014.html

There was also a poll taken in response to a related thread on the
community list:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1w2wKSxn5YN4LtSXYHvFT2IFw_BDaT_2cjUkP9pDeqLQ/viewanalytics

As you can see, the vast majority of the poll respondents wanted the HP to
be the least recommended option on the page, and a number of comments said
it should be done away with entirely.
