This seems somewhat non-kosher, since upstream haskell-platform defines the included packages so precisely.
Yep that is why I have been soliciting opinions from users and upstream. You're the first to raise concern but I am listening and had hoped for more feedback/comments.
But if you think it will be compatible, that's your judgment call.
cabal-install is just a cli so it should not impact the haskell-platform API but having said that 0.6.4 has not had as wide testing as 0.6.2 but there are not any known issues AFAIK and I have inspected the diff.
I would really rather avoid the epoch (wish I had not pushed that update late at night..:-/) but if keeping cabal-0.6,4 is a bad idea then I am willing to rethink, which is why haskell-platform is in testing now and not final updates. :)
