These modules have a long history, so removing them only runs the risk of upsetting end users. Why would that be a positive move? Projects quite often have a low-level FFI layer that are written/generated once, and then mostly forgotten about -- code that use both modules (as they were generated initially by GC,HDirect,whatever at the time, e.g., TclHaskell.) Since there's no maintenance overhead for these, let them live, I'd say. --sigbjorn "standing up for the common Haskell programmer" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Paterson" <ross@soi.city.ac.uk> To: "Sigbjorn Finne" <sof@galois.com> Cc: <cvs-hugs@haskell.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 09:05 Subject: Re: last call: Addr and ForeignObj
