My proposal was 7.6.3 was a minimal release in a very short timeframe,
to just fix #7748. Any additional changes introduce a possibility of
regression. If you think that 7.6.2+1.16.0 would be OK, then it sounds
like the fixes in 1.16.0.3 wouldn't be worth the risk (there are a
number of GHC fixes that we won't be merging either, for the same
reason).


Thanks
Ian
