do you really need parsec2? Given that parsec 3 is in the platform now,
I would have loved to see all packages using parsec3 and we could drop
parsec2 completely.

Ah, see above. Maybe we should check back with the Darcs devels, but
parsec3 being in the platform is a strong indicator that it ought to be
used.
