Entry

drop-packages: 
- Cabal

in stack.yaml seems to be silently ignored.
So working around

according to the recipe in

fails.

I think that stack may not be ignoring drop-packages: - Cabal; I think that recent resolvers do not include Cabal to start with - so that it is the version of Cabal that ships with the version of GHC that is relevant. See commercialhaskell/stackage#4425 (comment) (from March 2020).

With my investigation above and the updating of the documentation, I am going to close this issue.

As described in the resolution to #5707, Cabal is no longer included in LTSs so this has no effect.

It would be nice to list *which* LTS dropped it -- see FIXME.

As described in the resolution to #5707, Cabal is no longer directly
included in snapshots, so dropping it has no effect.

P.S. I accidentally discovered another poorly-rendered Note, so I fixed
it at the same time.
