There is the question of what would happen to
http://head.hackage.haskell.org/. The CI-generated repository is
currently deployed via GitLab Pages to
http://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/head.hackage/; the user's experience
otherwise does not change. It would be easy to redirect
head.hackage.haskell.org there is that is okay with hvr.
