Cabal revisions caused me some grief this morning: https://twitter.com/taylorfausak/status/931913423843201024

Do I really want to kick this hornet's nest? Revisions are terrible, but at least the tooling is slowly gaining ways to talk about them. Ultimately the end result is that the Haskell ecosystem has PVP version numbers with revisions. Instead of major.minor.patch (1.2.3) we have superMajor.major.minor.patch-rPatch (1.2.3.-r5). I think I've already said my piece in the SLURP (https://github.com/haskell/ecosystem-proposals/pull/4) and UHL (https://github.com/haskell/ecosystem-proposals/pull/6) proposals. Anyone who cares was probably following those issues.
