+# do not list/override Cabal here:
 # Cabal is a GHC boot package and, consequently, like all other boot packages,
 # should not be included directly in a Stackage snapshot. The package version is
 # specified by the specified GHC version. To do otherwise affects adversely
 # Stack's ability to override the specified compiler easily. See:
