I should probably mention that the most likely reason for this is that they
had problems packaging ghc 7.8 (which is why the ghcformacosx repo was
created) and rather than keep an old 7.6-based platform they just removed
all of it. They did eventually sort out ghc, I think, but never went back
and recreated the Platform packages.
