package environment files and the GHC API
The GHC API respects package environment files, which is not documented and was not announced.
I consider this to be at least a severe documentation bug.
Afaik this goes back to ghc-8.0.
#15513 is a ticket that essentially asks for the corresponding entry in the migration guide.
