I don't know how closely users look at the "built on" line on the package
page. Perhaps they look there, perhaps they don't.

Between Bryan and me we build all of our own packages and all HP packages
on the latest 3 GHC versions:

http://ci.johantibell.com/
https://jenkins.serpentine.com/

That doesn't mean that it would be a bad idea to build all Hackage packages
on using more GHC versions, but that won't happen until the Hackage project
is unstuck (it has been stuck for years!).
