Right, the "preferred version" for QuickCheck should be updated to
version 2, because the haskell platform happened to switch from QC1 to
QC2 some time ago.

Whereas the preferred version for Parsec is correctly 2, because Parsec
2 is (still) part of the current haskell platform.

(I oppose(d) to update to Parsec 3)
