Note that we follow the Stackage LTS releases to ensure the various
Haskell packages work nicely together.  The latest Stackage release of
Extra is 1.6.21, as reported by 'guix refresh':

$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh ghc-extra
following redirection to `https://www.stackage.org/lts'...
following redirection to `https://www.stackage.org/lts-15.4'...
gnu/packages/haskell-xyz.scm:3777:13: warning: 1.7.1 is greater than the latest known version of ghc-extra (1.6.21)

So I wonder if we should downgrade this package to avoid compatibility
problems.  Thoughts?

By the way, if you use './pre-inst-env guix refresh -u PACKAGE-NAME' to
update packages, it will choose the correct version for you.

Oh. Sorry, didn't know that.

I upped it because ghcid 0.8.5 (latest) depends on extra >=1.6.20 and I
just thought to get the latest version available. Downgrading ghc-extra 
to 1.6.21 shouldn't break anything. If it's alright, I'll send in a
patch.

Thanks for the tips!

No worries, very few people do!  :-)
