We might get some complaints from people who use cabal outside our support window (I know there are people who do it), but it's not clear that we should care.

[Bodigrim]

Control.Monad.Fail has been there since base-4.9 / GHC 8.0, which is very long time ago.

[geekosaur]

Still not very far from our support window, though. (It's kinda wide.)

[Bodigrim]

Anyway, it's not like Distribution.Compat.MonadFail was actually providing any compatibility layer.
