Thanks for reporting

Bound scotty < 0.30 has been added.
Shouldn't this issue stay open?

apologies for hijacking the ticket but this situation makes me wonder:
A version bump is not a guarantee that revdeps will break, regardless of what version bounds say.

Thanks for reopening, my bad

Indeed I agree: which is why I am personally opposed to over-conservative untested upper-bounds in general.
But sounds like you are entertaining more radical idea perhaps?
(I don't think Stackage will move to "allow-newer" say: eventually this will lead to ecosystem breakage.)
