In Hackage 1 packages can be deprecated, optionally indicating a recommended replacement (the "deprecated" and "superseded by" fields of the per-package "tags" file), e.g. partial-lens and binary-strict-0.3.1. These don't seem to be in Hackage 2.

I think you can reach this functionality by going to a package and clicking 'maintain'. There, you can edit deprecation and preferred versions. I haven't tested if this works, though. Erik

The User accounts page, echoing the Hackage 1 version, says "Passwords are stored encrypted, so if you forget yours we can't recover it, but will need to assign a new one. Just ask." But the account registration page doesn't even ask for an email address, so it would be difficult for administrators to action a request for a password reset safely. If you store the email address, an automatic reset would be feasible, as is common elsewhere.
