+It looks like the latest version of `git-annex` currently published on
+Hackage has a dependency on `feed` package without an upper bound
+specified.
+
+FYI, as per https://github.com/bergmark/feed/pull/20, a new version of
+`feed` will be released soon, incorporating non-backwards compatible
+changes to `feed` interface (`String` was replaced with `Text`
+throughout and `xml-types` types were adopted). Changes are largely
+mechanical but you'll probably want to ensure that future version of
+`git-annex` can build with newer `feed`.
+
+To prevent breakage for users, you may want to release a new version
+of `git-annex` with an upper bound specified now, then push a version
+compatible with `feed-1.0` after that comes out later.
+
+Use the tip of the PR to test your package against:
+https://github.com/dzhus/feed/commit/259bab0 . With Stack, you just
+need to put the following in the `packages` section of your
+`stack.yaml`:
