Actually, the ideas for LTS Haskell came out of conversations I had with Duncan and Mark at ICFP. The original idea was to create a GPS Haskell that would encompass a "best of both worlds." LTS Haskell is a first step towards that, and I'm hoping that Haskell Platform and Hackage ultimately fold this stuff back in.

I went into more detail on this history in the previous blog post: https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2014/12/backporting-bug-fixe...

Sounds good. I had assumed you were heading in this direction. The approach was something Duncan and I wanted to try in 2007/2008 but we didn't have resources at the time. Now the infrastructure is there, automatically identifying stable sets, tagging and releasing them is a good step. If you can get to the point of computing the next HP set in the same fashion, that will be a big win for stability.
