Is the HF board going to make Stackage related decisions, or will the HF limit itself to paying hosting fees and server admin costs (i.e. your paycheck)?
For example, one could imagine the interval between LTS releases to be determined through HF tech proposals. I imagine that repo currently doesn’t cover Stackage, but its README doesn’t make that clear.
I am asking because I remember a discussion on when LTS-22 would be released. It’s a fairly foundational question and the comments by @andreasabel seem to suggest that there was a change in policy. Is the documentation of this something the HF has any plans to contribute to in any way, or would that somehow be considered too intrusive?
There are stable releases in the world of GHC release management, and then there is stability according to Stackage. If HF’s goal is to increase professional use of Haskell, one could argue that systematizing the stability label would be desirable. But I also imagine that it might be politically fraught somehow. In that case, would it make sense to have a tech-proposal that states what the HF doesn’t have opinions on?
I suppose HF doesn’t have the budget to sponsor curators. Is there an official HF policy on which parts of Stackage are paid for, and which parts the community is required to contribute?
