This empties the no-revisions: list - I don't see any good reason we should carry these permanently.

Most of the 10 packages there date from the previous decade,
and 2 were added in more recent years: I think they were both intended to be temporary bounds workarounds.

I think this list should be up to Stackage not something that upstream maintainers can impose.

I do not see any reason for them to exist permanently.
I don't feel upstreams should be able to decide whether
Stackage uses revisions or not for their package:
they are used by cabal-install anyway.

Obviously from time to time this may be a useful tool
if a revision conflicts with stackage's bounds
but it should not be a permanent lever IMHO.

(Just to be clear - I think the commit msg is ambiguous - no packages are being removed.)
