- GHC now uses **libffi** to implement parts of the FFI, replacing some of the home-grown and very architecture-specific code we had to do this. Amongst other benefits, this will ease the task of porting GHC in the future. Done; but *maybe use it to solve the SE Linux paranoia problem?*

depending on base-3 will continue to just work.

- **Ship the Haskell Library Platform** instead of 'extralibs'. **Don and Duncan** are leading.

- More library reorg ([\#1338](https://gitlab.haskell.org//ghc/ghc/issues/1338)). The goal here is to shift stuff out of boot-libs and into the Haskell Library Platform, which is independently upgradable. Not hugely urgent, nice to have.
