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.
