Why is there a preferred version blocking 1.5 on Hackage?

Question to @k0ral, who I assume is the one who put it there (unfortunately Hackage doesn't provide that information). Why is there a preferred version of < 1.5 on Hackage? I ask because of commercialhaskell/stackage#2312

Done.

I set that preferred version following discussion here.
I suppose we can lift it now, given that:

it's been set for several months, which is reasonably long enough for reverse-dependencies' maintainers to upgrade to xml-conduit >1.5, according to deprecation warnings
incompatibilities detected by stackage have been fixed (cf commercialhaskell/stackage#2312 (comment))

What do you think ?

Yeah, I'd say go for it.
