Comment (by rwbarton):

 Does 8.2 need to be able to build with 7.10.1? If so then we can't remove
 these CPP guards entirely until 8.4.

 This is an honest question, by the way. I don't know whether our policy is
 that 8.2 should be buildable by ''every'' 7.10.* release, or ''some''
 7.10.* release, or perhaps the ''last'' 7.10.* release. If we somehow
 released a compiler that was completely incapable of bootstrapping GHC, it
 would be a serious problem for the "every" policy. Is this policy written
 down somewhere?
