hls   0.5.0          latest,recommended        no-bindist
ghcup 0.1.11         latest,recommended

So:

still some older GHC versions missing
a lot of bindists are not official and from here: https://files.hasufell.de/ghc/
hls support missing
Problems with libffi ABI breakage in with no backwards compat, afair, which means that almost all old bindists don't work anymore, also see !27 (closed)
