Comment(by Evi1M4chine):

 Replying to [comment:18 benmachine]:

 I thought it was obvious, that I talked about ''introducing'' a new file
 property, that by definition gets ignored, unless the used compiler
 supports the functionality.
 So without breaking compatibility to anything. Old projects can leave it
 away. New projects can expect it not to do anything if the wrong compiler
 is used, and demand that compiler, or remove it and change the code
 accordingly.

 I bet, that this exact thing is already done for something else inside
 Cabal.

 I don’t see a problem, other than stubbornness. ;)

 But it's OK. You can do with your project whatever you like. Just don't be
 surprised, if a fork suddenly gets all the attention. ;)
