NOTES-2012.2.0.0

= Release 2012.2 =

Outstanding issues
    [] do we need to bump min cabal in haskell-platform.cabal
    [] haskell2000 was not listed in core.packages
    [] integer-gmp is in core.packages, but not in .cabal file
    [] verify random is no longer in GHC, so we'll explicitly include
    [] note non-standard version numbers for Cabal and time
    [] verify: packages dist with bin GHC that are not part of HP:
        bin-package-db, binary, ghc-prim, hoopl, integer-gmp
    [] verify: hscolour is not part of HP
    [] should deepseq be considered "core", as GHC supplies
    [] alex was bumped to 3, good bad ugle?
