Your recent change to the HaskellWiki BSD page

Hi there,

I noticed that you recently removed the instructions for installing GHC from the BSD wiki page.

While it is true that GHCUp no longer supports FreeBSD, FreeBSD users can still install a port of 8.6.6 maintained by the FreeBSD Haskell Team.

I ask that you consider reverting your change so that FreeBSD users aren't misled to believe that there is no support for GHC on the platform.

Thanks, Kevin

That decision was based on information in this Discourse post:

https://discourse.haskell.org/t/priorities-for-upcoming-ghc-releases/9605/19

which has now finallybeen clarified:

https://discourse.haskell.org/t/priorities-for-upcoming-ghc-releases/9605/21

There's also this topic:

...if you're interested.
