Comment (by Phyx-):

 I generally agree that we shouldn't keep updating older releases.

 I can apply it to the chocolatey distros but, that said, this is a special
 case. To emphasise the issue: In a few weeks (and at the pace 8.2 is
 going, likely before 8.2 is released) we won't have a single working
 official release of the compiler on Windows 10 at all.

 Given Microsoft's upgrade policy, the "Creator's Update" (reportedly build
 15063) will be shoved down your throat no matter if you want it or not. We
 risk the situation that no one on Windows 10 can use GHC at all, which is
 not a good situation to be in.

 I'm sure the stack folks can patch their distros as well. But I think we
 should have at least a discussion about this, and what happens if it
 happens again in the future, given the much higher cadence of Windows
 releases these days. There are more Windows releases than GHC releases
 these days.
