Comment (by bgamari):

 Indeed this sounds reasonable to me. The only possible issue is that it
 would also be no longer possible to link against the `ghci` library that
 ships with GHC (since it depends upon `haskeline`). However, I suspect
 this won't be a problem since GHC is more-or-less a normal Haskell package
 which `Cabal` should be able to install on its own.
