What is the plan for the ghc modules?
It's a good question: I kind of avoided going into detail on this point in the Change,
since I was not intending to remove/drop the modules just yet.
In the meantime I have added an optional ghcX.Y-compiler-default subpackage
which allows making ghcX.Y the default ghc too though, so with that
the modules no longer seem to provide any advantage.
If there are no strong objections I think I will probably drop the modules before F37 anyway.
But I didn't really want to frame this Change as "demodularization", but I will concede that
maintaining the modules has been more stressful than I would like to admit.
Most likely I will also switch EPEL to using ghcX.Y instead of modules.
