Description
Whenever I built a package and the constraints force me to an older version of a package than is currently released it is typically an error on my part, where I failed to notice that one of my dozens of dependencies has had a new release.
Is there or can there be a way to get cabal to warn me when it doesn't use the latest version of a given dependency?
I'm happy to pass it a flag.
As it is I usually have to wait 24-48 hours for @snoyberg to ping me about me breaking `stackage` before I find out about the problem. ;)
