Fixes #7209


Template B: This PR does not modify behaviour or interface

E.g. the PR only touches documentation or tests, does refactorings, etc.

Include the following checklist in your PR:

  • 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).

If there's any mechanism to warn users that their GHC version is too old, then that might be something we could add.

Which is the first GHC version that has the fix?

In the issue I read 9.2.1. 9.0.2 was released on 25 December 2021 (ref), which should be still inside our support window.

What I meant was: “We advertise such support”.
