Now that the Downloads page is in decent shape I think it might be time to remove the page for the Haskell Platform and make it redirect to the downloads page. As of the time of posting haskell-platform supersedes the downloads page in the search results for "install haskell" on both Google and DuckDuckGo. I've seen a number of people struggling with their GHC/cabal installations because of this, and they end up switching to GHCup anyways, which wastes their time.
A less extreme measure would be to put a deprecation banner up, but that wouldn't be a very smooth experience for newcomers in my opinion.
