[Haskell-cafe] GHC LTS Releases

[Brandon Allbery]

Still seems to me that dependent types is taking long enough that 10 won't
be it unless we don't have anything else big going in. That said, bgamari
was grouching enough about release complications around 9.10 that I wonder
if we'll see 10.0 without a big change. ☺
