The trustee overhead is only too damn high if people start leaving off upper bounds more frequently. We're tweaking and adding features into `cabal-install` to encourage proper PVP bounds when uploading to Hackage.

On the other hand, Stack unfortunately undoes this by having harming defaults here.

So, to put this bluntly, by having bad defaults, Stack is actively contributing to overload Hackage Trustees.

Well, that's a very bold theory...
