I have spent a while thinking about this, as it has considerable
ramifications.

I don't think we have ever seen a case of an irresponsible committer (could
such a thing even exist in the Haskell community?), so I'm in favour.

The caveat is that I would like to do one more release on Hackage
supporting  2.8.x, as we have a number of valuable bugfixes in the devel
branches which would benefit users of 2.8.x. I will try to do this over
then next two weeks, so my proposal is...

Patches committed until the end of 2011 should be verified on a wxWidgets
2.8.x release. From 1st Jan 2012, 2.8.x is dropped, and we'll bump the
version number from 0.13.x to 0.14.x.

How does this sound?
