[Haskell-community] Request for comment: New haskell.org download page

[Edward Kmett]

There was some discussion within the committee of dropping the minimal installers from the page the other day. However, stack-only does appear to remain a fairly popular download option. I feel if we ever hope to heal the haskell-lang rift that removing the stack option at this time would be actively harmful.
