Last time I asked I was told it was by design. Similarly the
__GLASGOW_HASKELL__ cpp macro does not tell you the patch level. I
believe the rationale is that minor ghc versions are compatible (though
because they're not really 100% in all cases they did add a patch level
cpp macro). So you can try opening a ghc ticket, see if you can persuade
them to reconsider.
