From #2128:

I see vty-windows is requiring GHC 9.4.4+. I'm thinking about this for hledger. It would be pleasant, but a big jump from 8.10 which I think would hurt our packageability ? Debian stable has 9.0 but Debian unstable has 9.4. No Ubuntu version has a GHC newer than 9.0. But I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world. 8.10 is 3.5y old (2020) and 9.4 is 1y old (2022).

Actually it's probably not necessary after all. But I'm still tempted.

Yoiks, somebody should start packaging GHC for Ubuntu again!

If I'm reading things right we didn't do this yet, and for the moment still support GHC 8.10 and up (even for hledger-windows). If someone finds otherwise, eg someone installing hledger-ui on MS windows, please let me know.
