Comment (by Ryan Scott <ryan.gl.scott@…>):

 In [changeset:"acdbd16ffca4f13cfae6eeed045a6fc5969adee2/ghc"
 acdbd16f/ghc]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="acdbd16ffca4f13cfae6eeed045a6fc5969adee2"
 Move #12403, #12513 users guide notes to 8.2.1 release notes

 The changes in #12403 and #12513 subtly changed the behavior of Template
 Haskell reification and splicing. While the old behavior was certainly
 buggy,
 it's possible that there's code in the wild that depended on the old
 behavior
 to work. To err on the side of caution, I'll postpone these changes to GHC
 8.2.1 instead of having them merged into GHC 8.0.2.
