Hackage and the platform are complementary not in competition. In
particular, Hackage is the main infrastructure for the Haskell Platform.
We rely on platform packages being published on Hackage.

The aim is that new quality measures that we want for platform packages
to be automated in Hackage where all packages can benefit from the extra
information.
