You seem to assume that old strategies use a different GC policy than new strategies. My understanding is that this is not true. The WEAK policy is used in general now. So old strategies shouldn't be used with more recent GHCs, or you'll lose parallelism.
I just wanted to confirm what Andres writes above: the GC has only one policy for sparks, which is to prune them when they are unreachable from the program. Cheers, Simon
