…arch64-linux The extensive release matrix for Cabal-the-executable was inherited from GHC, back when they were built on the same CI machines. For quite some time it serves virtually no purpose: package distributors do not use the artifacts (they build them themselves for their respective Linux distros), and ghcup (except vanilla channel) does not use them, so who does? Cabal-the-executable is, well, just a single executable. Normally a single statically linked executable could have served all Linuxes, except for a wart with semaphores implementation which required Cabal to be built against the same standard C Library (`glibc` or `musl`) as the GHC it uses. But it is now well-established by ghcup, which distributes only two Cabal binaries (one for `glibc` and one for `musl`), that that's it, there is no point to have more distro-specific builds. Now that the recent work on the `semaphore-compat-0.2` package sorted out the issue with semaphores and standard C libraries, a single statically linked executable can serve all `x86_64-linux` platforms and the same holds for `aarch64-linux`. We can stop doing redundant and rather useless work and reduce the build matrix to exactly one artifact per platform, using Alpine static build.
