Haskell Platform 2013.2 Proposal Status

[George Colpitts]

Sorry for any confusion. I am all set if the forthcoming Platform is going
to use GHC 7.6.3 (earlier mail of Apr 11 had said 7.6.2) and if this bug is
fixed or not present in 7.6.3 (this was not clear to me from the bug which
mentions 7.6.3 as a milestone but doesn't say it is closed or fixed in
7.6.3 although it does say that it works in 7.6.1).

Thanks for the quick response,
George
