Hi Bulat, My contribution to the survey: I've used forkProcess to daemonize a ghc program inside the haskell fuse bindings: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HFuse http://code.haskell.org/hfuse/System/Fuse.hsc If removing the non-threaded RTS would break forkProcess entirely, these bindings would have to do something different. The issue: users of the FUSE C api will get daemonized using daemon(2); it'd be nice if GHC fuse programs could behave similarly. Thanks, Brian Bloniarz
Hello Tomasz,

Had you deprecated the non-threaded RTS, we would probably have no problems described in ticket #2848 :-/
I think you'll have to deprecate it anyway, because it will be more and more difficult to maintain two versions of code, especially if one of them will be much less used and tested.
we may conduct small survey on amount of usage of old RTS (i mean ask this in haskell-cafe)
