* status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: We've already agreed (unanimously, I think) to remove them from base (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2012-June/thread.html#17881) and they have already been removed in HEAD. Nothing else in base, or the rest of a GHC tree, depends on it, so there is no need for it to be in base. Additionally, we, as base maintainers, have not been maintaining this code (as evidenced by #3160 not being fixed for years), and having it in base means that it will take months (if not years) for any bug fixes that people do make to reach end users. If you, or anyone else, wants the old implementation then please feel free to put the old code in a standalone package on Hackage, which could be added to the HP if the HP also wants it. At this point, this would scarcely be any more effort than re-adding it to base. If no-one is willing to do this before GHC 7.8.1 is released (that's ''at least'' 2 months away, and probably more) then it will surely never be done. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7417#comment:3> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
