I'm not working on it and do not plan to start again.

Looks like fibon never worked and wasn't used for anything, so it should be removed. Still it would make sense to replace this code with something used as part of normal nofib test cases.

Hi all,

I wanted to remove `fibon` (from `nofib`) - it's broken, abandoned

upstream (no commits in 5 years) and I'm not aware of anyone using it

or working on it. At this point I don't think it makes sense to try to

revive it - I'd prefer putting the time/effort into getting a few new

benchmarks.

There were already discussions about removing it in

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11501

If someone is actually working on getting it to work again, please

shout!

Thanks,

Michal

PS. I've tried uploading the patch to Phab, but I think it's just too

large (arc is crashing). So I've uploaded it to github:
