     @gsuberland @jpm At least it's something that was finished long ago where you can just reject updates.

     @gsuberland @dalias @jpm
     also I think it depends on shittons of haskell libraries that might be deprecated eventually (in the versions the last unslopped pandoc requred)

     JFC... and possibly worse than pandoc itself, I have a public wiki using gitit (which uses pandoc and is from the same author)

     @dalias @jpm yeah but I don't want to "just" maintain an entire fucking spreadsheet of what software versions I have to explicitly request from package managers to avoid this shit >:(
