That GHC might reject an older version of base isn't a reason to switch for every GHC release, is it? I mean, if it breaks then sure, require a newer base. But in my experience GHC (thankfully!) doesn't change the semantics of H

Looks like it needs to speak to a daemon running on the storage server? Would be cool if it could just use e.g. S3 for storage.

That's what everyone seems to suppose. I don't see why it's warranted, though.
