HEADS UP: Final call for 7.10.2 is soon

[Wolfgang Jeltsch]

Hi,

bug #10009 appears on the status page with status “new”, although the
bug should have been fixed in HEAD. Can this fix *please* be a part of
GHC 7.10.2? At the moment, this bug breaks the incremental-computing
package in a nontrivial way (and I think it breaks HList too).

All the best,
Wolfgang
