As soon as you upload stuff to Hackage, it enters the work-queue for Hackage Trustees. That's because the Hackage Trustees' mission is to make sure that Hackage remains in a healthy state. Which, by the way, wouldn't be needed in the first place, if everyone played voluntarily by what you call "your preferred rules", i.e. the PVP. Luckily, in many cases it's just an oversight, and in thoses cases people are actually grateful for the heads-up.

Consequently, the only way to keep Hackage Trustees from messing with your stuff is to refrain from uploading to Hackage.

That's actually an intriguing idea and to be honest I am surprised that Stackage hasn't implemented something to this end already. After all, Stackage curators keep busy fighting against overly strict version bounds, while Hackage trustees are busy fighting against inaccurately lax version bounds... this is quite yin-and-yang-esque ;-)

I don't mind if the Hackage Trustees mess with my stuff. It's released under a free license; anyone can do whatever she wants to it. But this is not work that I am foisting on anyone else. They are voluntarily doing it.

If the Hackage Trustees think the PVP is so important, they should change Hackage so that uploads must conform to it.
