I'd guess that this is actually related to Mark's recent
complaint about lack of contributions from the community -
these compatibility things would be good candidates for
community involvement, I think. I can imagine, however,
that those who hack Haskell implementations find it more
sexy to hack on one of the compilers than on Hugs. This
might change as soon as Hugs execution and GHC-compiled code
can interoperate.
