Do we want to keep maintaining this meta-package?

I personally don't, what do you think @facundominguez, @mboes, @qnikst ?

In the age of Stackage, this package has outlived its usefulness for users. It's only useful for developers, to pull in all core CH packages in one go and define a common stack.yaml to hack on them. If you all agree, perhaps we should update the README to that effect.

Bump... I really think it might be worth getting rid of this repo. It's a maintenance overhead nobody really has time for, and doesn't serve much purpose from what I can see...

Thoughts...?

There may be a bit of use for development reasons, as you can keep a single stack.yaml, cabal.project file and pull all the relevant versions automatically during development. But in this case, this repo should be actually a single stack.yaml and cabal.project file without subrepos. However, this leads to a huge maintenance burden that counterweight anything good this project brings.

So let's go for that and archive this repo.
