[Haskell-cafe] Compatibility etiquette for apps, with cabal sandboxes and `stack`

personally, I never install anything with stack or cabal-install,
regardless of whether it's a tool intended for Haskell developers or
not. Stack and cabal-install are great tools to use during code
development, but neither of them has the capabilities I want from a
package manager.

Just my 2 cents,
Peter
