[Haskell-cafe] any estimate on when Liskell will be based on GHC 6.8.3, instead of GHC 6.6?

Recently, I had recommended Liskell to somebody in the thread entitled
"Closest statically typed FP "cousin" to Scheme?"  (on
comp.lang.scheme) (see
http://groups.google.se/group/comp.lang.scheme/browse_thread/thread/1fa8fb06885cfd8f/a65f73105ef671a1?#a65f73105ef671a1),
but then another user replied that a problem with Liskell was that it
was based on GHC 6.6, whereas the latest stable version of GHC was
6.8.3 (see
http://groups.google.se/group/comp.lang.scheme/msg/a65f73105ef671a1).

Does anybody have any estimate on when Liskell will be updated to be
based on the current GHC 6.8.3, instead of the old GHC 6.6?

I am interested in trying out Liskell myself, but am slightly hesitant
because it is based on an older version of GHC.
