Gearing up (again) for the next release: 2014.2.0.0

Things are really starting to heat up. More than a year is an
unreasonably long delay for a platform release. There is a
growing sentiment that the platform should just be abandoned,
which in my opinion would be a shame.

In the meantime, it looks like there might be yet another quick
bug-fix release of GHC, deprecating 7.8.2. It appears that some
additional regressions have come to light.

Where are we headed at this point?

Thanks,
