We're happy to try to improve things, but I'm not sure what change you
want exactly.

We could change the default for GHC stable branches to:

* Use the tag for the latest release, unless that isn't suitable, in
  which case use HEAD

but note that it isn't necessarily easy to tell in advance if the latest
release is suitable. For example, if library A decides to use a new
major version number, then library B may need to relax its dependency on
library A.

Of course, we will make any decisions in discussion with the
maintainers.


Thanks
Ian
