You are correct. Nothing in the repo requires it. Last year when we were 
prepping the repo for 15.0, I was trying to fix the pandoc build with 
all the latest dependencies (it has > 150 dependencies) and I wrote a 
slackbuild for this, but later realised it was already part of ghc, just 
the version was too new for other dependencies which were complaining 
about not finding it and those needed upgrading instead. Looks like I 
pushed this dependency anyway, despite it being redundant. I'll stage it 
for removal this week.

Thanks,
Andrew
