We could file a tracking bug against the 7.14 milestone. I was considering that but we don't have 7.14 milestone yet.
Just curious, is there a way to keep these functions for backwards compat in 7.14 or is that unfeasible? They could stay, technically that's not a problem. But I'm adding new functions that can do the same thing (and more), so we have redundancy.
Can you hide them in the haddock but leave in the module, so that we don't break existing code?
I agree. You'll get rid of the redundancy in the library by removing it but you're users will have to live with #if MIN_VERSION_template_haskell(X,Y,X) -- new way #else -- old way #endif for 3+ years (which is typically how many GHC versions popular libraries try to support).
