I just read through the Release notes for version 6.10.2 (see http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/release-6-10-2.html), however, and noticed that the removal of the time package hadn't been documented there.

The time package will be part of the first platform release (assuming we get enough volunteers to do the platform release!)
