Comment (by Phyx-):

 Thanks! I thought based on the timing that 2.28 contained them :) thought
 they were checked in, but probably after the branch?

 ABout the string literals I assume you mean string merging? GHC now
 generates a lot more string literals that are identical and should be
 merged.
