No idea. I suppose we take this route:
1. First you test a sample of ghc-* packages and build them to see if
there’s obvious breakage.
2. If not, we commit the GHC upgrade in a branch and let Hydra build
the branch.
3. We fix package breaks that we notice on the branch.
4. Merge the branch.
How does that sound?
