Ok, it all depends on when the next release of darcs will be ready
and when I (or someone else) gets ghc-6.8 or 6.10 done for OpenBSD
(yes, I'm working on this, even after I dropped maintainership from
our ghc port).

I *hope* to get a working ghc-6.10 port for OpenBSD to the end of
this year, and I guess that's a short enough timeline that darcs
could drop 6.6 support if it's really necessary.
