And as a bonus
Cabal, which is partly tracked by #16637 (closed)
IMHO it would be clearer if each boot library had a PATCH release, so git submodule foreach git describe --always would tell which versions are there. Currently some of the packages have some not-essential .travis.yml churn; some have a little of metadata change (e.g. relaxed base, time etc bounds), or actual unreleased changes (e.g. binary and text at least).
From #16602 (closed)
In general, actionable things like bumping Cabal should have a ticket otherwise they are destined to fall through the cracks. It looks like in this case I failed to open one and no one else did so either.
