I only have two uses of it at present and come to think of it I'm now dubious about if they were doing anything, so I can pretty readily work around its removal!

No objection here.

Hello everyone,

GHC's STM subsystem has long had the ability to run user-specified
invariant checks when committing transactions, embodied by the
Control.Monad.STM.always and alwaysSucceeds functions.

However, if Hackage is any indication this feature has seen very little
use of the past ten years. In fact, it has very likely been quite broken
(#14310) for this entire duration.

Consequently, I suggest that we begin deprecating the mechanism. See
the deprecation Proposal [1] for full details. Please leave a comment if
you object.

Cheers,

- Ben
