That creates a timing problem, given that people will want to test the
GHC 6.12 RC against packages that will depend on array and other core
libraries like it. Obviously they could install the development versions
manually, but this seems rather inconvenient.

I guess the problem with uploading it before the release is that people
who don't want the bleeding edge will also pick up the upload by
default.
