Comment(by andersk):

 Comments from the libraries list:

 Isaac Dupree: “And hmm, I think people using old GHC are nevertheless
 supposed to update their Cabal and cabal-install (if they want packages
 from Hackage).  But in this case, easier compatibility seems useful.”

 Ian Lynagh: “Reverting the change sounds like the right thing to me.”
