+    Haskell packages can no longer be found by name, except for
+    <literal>ghc</literal>, <literal>cabal-install</literal>, and
+    <literal>stack</literal>, even though we do package the whole Hackage.
    The reason for this inconvenience is the sheer size of the Haskell
    package set: name-based lookups such as these would become much
    slower than they are today if we'd add the entire Hackage database
