[Haskell-cafe] Hackage inconsistent? (pandoc.cabal in 1.13.1)

[John MacFarlane]

I must say, I did pause a bit before making this change to
pandoc on Hackage, precisely because I realized that the
cabal file in the package would not match the one on
Hackage.

But I went ahead, assuming that if the means were provided
to make this kind of change, it should be okay.

It is time-consuming for me to make a proper pandoc
release.  I need to write up release notes, rebuild the
website, generate and test the binary packages on various
different platforms, upload to github releases and Hackage,
send announcement emails, etc.  Even with automation this
all takes work.  I'd rather not have to do this every time a
version bound changes on a dependent package, so I like this
way of making minor tweaks to version bounds; I hope I
can be persuaded that it's not a bad idea.
