build failure w/ base-4.7 & base-4.6

[hvr]

The cabal file advertises support for base >= 4.6 && < 5, however GHC disagrees:

I've already revised the 3 affected releases, so there's no immediate need for any action on your part; however please take this into account for future releases

• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-0.7.2/revisions/
• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-0.7.3/revisions/
• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/distributed-process-0.7.4/revisions/

Folks... What do we think about dropping advised support for those versions? I personally have no interest in maintaining compatibility with GHC 7.x.

[qnikst]

Yes, as usual, 3 version support, 7.10 may survive until it compiles but no longer, for the older versions we should just do not allow that.

[hyperthunk]

Okay, I'm going to update all the library ecosystem that way then. Can I leave you to do this for distributed-process/static, and close this bug?

[qnikst]

Yes will try to do that today.

Due to limited maintenance resources, supported GHC versions are currently 8.10.7 - 9.10.1 (base 4.14 - 4.20). This issue is no longer relevant
