Hi Ben

Thanks for the very quick response which addresses my concerns ! However
I'm confused by

   - my colleague Zubin will be working on 9.2.4 next week, hopefully for
      release the following week

Zubin sent mail on July 28th with a subject line of  "[Haskell] [ANNOUNCE]
GHC 9.2.4 released". I'm running it

   -  $ ghc --version
   The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.2.4

Thanks again
George
