Hi Simon,

We had a small pow-wow over here. We're already providing relevant customers with a custom-built GHC, and only using this feature internally to their codebases, so it's not a necessity to get this into upstream GHC 7.10. It would be nice if the library ecosystem could start to add in support for this feature, but on the other hand having it out in the wild ties everyone's hands with improving the feature before the 7.12 release.

So put FP Complete down as somewhat ambivalent on whether it should go out.

Ahh, I just saw the messages sent yesterday. Michael, thanks for the offer of further Stackage smoke-tests. Herbert, do you suppose you could let Michael know when the PPA builds are available.

I'll be preparing a source distribution for limited release to the packagers soon. Cheers, - Ben
