As discussed in today's call.

Warn users about a number of issues early 3.18 adopters found, and how to work around them.


  • Patches conform to the coding conventions.
  • [ ] Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions). n/a

Fast track?

Optionally, maybe references some issues? Maybe a big and shiny Unresolved Issues header?

I have referenced one more issue.

I tried to change the layout of the page (making "Unresolved" bolder) but I did not like the final result, we can change it later.

If nobody objects by then, I will fast-track this at 12:00CEST

Perfect prose. To make it have the full impact, I do think we need to gather all this in one section at the very top. Then we can refer directly to this section in a reply to our release announcement topics anywhere we published them, etc. If we subsequently add to the section, the link we gave would still be good. That buys us more time.
