[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.4.2

[Brent Yorgey]

Thanks for the release!  One quick question -- the release notes say

  "A bug in dependency analysis of type declarations in the presence
  of type families (#5826) has been fixed."

However, #5826 seems to be about something entirely different
(something about the user guide).  Does anyone know the actual ticket
being referred to?  I'd like to read it in more detail but haven't
been able to find it.

thanks,
-Brent
