The packager in question has more or less disappeared over the past
couple of months; given that shakespeare-text is a dependency of yesod
(which he has also submitted for review), which I'm keenly interested
in, should we do something about it? I'd be happy to re-submit the
packages making up the Yesod stack for review over the next few days.

I'm quite happy with the backport approach, sort of like how KDE is
maintained in Fedora. And that ties in quite well with keeping
haskell-platform, right? At least then when newer versions of GHC make
it to older Fedora releases, it'd be less of a mess rebuilding all the
components.
