[Nix-dev] Should we switch the default Haskell compiler to GHC 7.4.2?

Hi guys,

the default 'haskellPackages' attribute is based on GHC 7.4.1, which is
the version recommended by the latest Haskell Platform. However, GHC
7.4.2 was released a while ago, and IMHO that version is just as stable
as 7.4.1 -- if not more --, so I would like to switch our default choice
of the compiler to the later version.

Would anyone object that change?

Take care,
Peter
