One way to decide that is to ask “What is the more stable interface”?
I.e. under what circumstances will upgrading Cabal require upgrading
packages depended upon by ghc.

So while Duncan’s Proposal has no such dependency, in Simon’s proposal
there is one. Will ghc-db’s interface be stable enough that the Cabal
developers will be happy to build against a very old version of it?

Greetings,
Joachim
