I'm joining this conversation late, but I favor TypeFamilyDependencies over InjectiveTypeFamilies. We use the annotations for things other than injectivity! For example,
type family Plus a b = r | r a -> b, r b -> a
is not injective under any common understanding of the word. But that is not implemented yet and thus will not make it into GHC 8.0. Following earlier argumentation, once we have generalized injectivity we should put it into a separate extension. So I'd say we stick with InjectiveTypeFamilies for currently implemented features and put the new ones in TypeFamilyDependencies.
That said, I don't like the idea that every addition to a language extension means creating a separate language extension.
