Comment (by bgamari):

 I have emailed Judah about this. Hopefully he'll be able to cut another
 minor release without the `exceptions` dependency for 8.8. Then I suppose
 we'll need to figure out how to make progress on this ticket for 8.10.

 > Are you sure the original issue why we started properly registering
 GHCi's dependencies around GHC 7.8 has been dealt with? Otherwise this
 will just throw us back to square one with the bugs/issues we had pre-7.8.

 Not at all; can you refresh our memories on what those issues were?
