Old means that we have a newer version in Nixpkgs already. If there is a reason
for the old package to still exist, i.e. because some other package is still
referring to it, then Hydra will still build the package as a dependency, but
we won't want to build old packages on their own right.
By now, it happened twice that a commit broke GHC and thus all Haskell packages
we have in Nixpkgs. On such an occasion, I receive well in excess of 3000
notification e-mails from Hydra, and then I receive another 3000 e-mails after
the bug has been fixed. Under these circumstances, subscribing to these
notifications makes no sense for me.

Several changes, some highlights:
* Structure of haskell-packages.nix updated. It's now easier to
select different default versions of packages for different
versions of GHC.
* GHC 7.0.2 is now default.
* Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0 has been added and is now default.
* Several packages have been updated
(gtk2hs, gitit, xmonad, darcs, ...).
* Some old packages have been removed.
