- GHC 8.6 and its package set have been removed. It was only used to bootstrap GHC for powerpc64le, but this was probably broken anyway.



- GHCJS 8.10, exposed via `haskell.compiler.ghcjs` and `haskell.compiler.ghcjs810`, has been removed. Downstream users should migrate their projects to the new JavaScript backend of GHC proper which can be used via `pkgsCross.ghcjs` from Nixpkgs. Haskell packaging code, like `haskellPackages.mkDerivation`, `ghcWithPackages` and `hoogleWithPackages`, also no longer supports GHCJS.



- GHC 9.0 and its package set have been removed.



- `base16-builder` node package has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance.

- `conduwuit` was removed due to upstream ceasing development and deleting their repository. For existing data, a migration to `matrix-conduit`, `matrix-continuwuity` or `matrix-tuwunel` may be possible.

- The `ghcInfo` and `controlPhases` functions have been removed from `haskell.lib.compose` and `haskell.lib`. They were unused and would return incorrect results.



  - Instead of using `controlPhases`, the `doCheck` attribute of derivations can be accessed which is more accurate. `doBenchmark` can't be introspected at the moment.
