We recently dropped 8.2 from CI (leave alone 8.0): are we sure that all this stuff builds with those GHCs? Maybe we should raise the bar even higher, so to 8.4? I think it doesn't violate the support policy because that's what we checked when dropping 8.2...

If they still build, no harm leaving the bounds permissive. Let's wait until somebody actually tries it and complains.

Shouldn't we conform this to <5 as in the other cases?
Especially in the testsuite we do not need more restrictive bounds than in the shipped products.
(Not really topic of this PR, but while we are at it...)
