Your vision for the future of Cabal subsystems

[Brandon Allbery]

Just to sort-of get the ball rolling:

I don't actually have a lot of a stake in Cabal or cabal-install myself; I
mostly work on meta stuff (nursemaiding GHA, maintaining and enhancing
workflows and Mergify config, etc.). But there's a similarly "meta" vision
I have: better interaction with the real stakeholders, to wit, the users.
What are *their* wishes and needs?
