It might be worth keeping to test that cabal-install can use an old GHC (even if it is itself built with a newer compiler). "compiled with" and "can use" are orthogonal axes. |
There are the "old-ghcs" jobs but those only test the At the moment there is not CI configuration to test cabal-install with versions of GHC other than those which it has been built with. That seems worthy of another ticket but seems outside the scope of this MR. |

We no longer support 8.4.4 as it is older than three years. cabal-install can still be used with 8.4.4, but just not built with it, and this is tested by the old-ghcs jobs.
We were missing coverage from running tests with these ghc versions.
And add the relevant CI jobs for these plans
It fails in the old-ghcs 8.4.4 configuration, and debugging why seems to have very little pay-off for this niche feature in a very old configuration.
