While presently I'm using my own build of GHC 8.8.2 from git, and thus
can wait indefinitely for a FreeBSD port of same, I should note that
stackage nightly snapshots are based on GHC 8.8.2 as of 2020-01-24, and
there will presumably be a GHC 8.8.2 LTS at some point in the not too
distant future.

So it may soonish be a good time to consider releasing a GHC 8.8 port.
