Description:

When xmonad and xmonad-contrib are not upgraded simultaneously xmonad
becomes unconfigurable until the two packages in sync again. ghc uses
a library hash to precisely check/satisfy dependencies so arch package
system won't avoid this situation to occur.

It is reasonable to assume that most users of xmonad also uses xmonad-contrib
so for them the out sync situation breaks xmonad.

I suggest to tightly link the upgrades of the two packages somehow to avoid
this problem.
This task depends upon
