That's a mighty fine excuse ;-). Btw, I hope your method involves
GHC's base package keeping the proper name, because without the name
"base" on the "base" package, Cabal has little hope of working.
(Did you know that Cabal is supposed to have JHC support? Neither did
I, until dcoutts mentioned that I was welcome to fix the JHC support
since he hadn't been able to test it...)
