[GHC-Releases] GHC 9.6.7 rc2 available

[Jens Petersen]

I haven't actually run it yet, but from building it the only major thing I
noticed so far is:

- Hadrian requires 'directory' newer than both current ghc-9.8 and ghc-9.10
😢 (as new as 9.12) - I would expect hadrian in 9.6 to be buildable with
9.6's 'directory', etc.

I can probably workaround it for Fedora (a bit tedious) but it feels
excessive: the overall trend that hadrian is getting harder and harder to
build without cabal-install in particular.
