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?
