* We will definitely do this at a GHC major version release, and may do so at a minor version release
* Packages that are incompatible with the newest GHC version will be temporarily blocked * Packages that are incompatible with the newest GHC version will be temporarily blocked
If your package ends up being temporarily removed from Stackage Nightly, please simply send a pull request to add it back once it and its dependencies are compatible with the newest GHC version.
