--- Comment #8 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe at FreeBSD.org> ---
I'd suggest we dump the GHC altogether and convert those few ports to simple
MASTER_SITES=https://github.com/downloads/... to be done with it.  GHC itself
now is misspelling since they dropped the "cloud" prefix.  Even when it was
meaningful, it was still confusing to have usual GitHub-related knobs meaning
something else in presence of MASTER_SITES=GHC.  It's hacky and confusing,
asking for abuse and mistakes.
