The two proposals on the table are "package instance" (which I don't like) and "library ID". -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9508 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It's pretty clear that it's something you have to look up to find out what it means, and doesn't clash with other concepts in GHC/Cabal. (Eg "instance" has many meanings!) I could cope with "package instance". I don't much like "library ID".

Maybe we should just give up on the renaming?
