I'd rather have haskell-parallel-2.2.0.1 in [extra].
The distinction between haskell-X and haskell-hp-X sounds good in theory, but I don't believe that the consequences of that change are sufficiently understood, nor am I convinced that we posses a tool-chain that's capable of taking advantage of that distinction. At this point in time, that change looks like a lot of risks and very little payoff.
Since a lot of Hackage packages depends on parallel (with no version spec) and actually are incompatible with parallel=3.*, I'll say I agree. -- Rémy.
