Not part of the core libs, so these are slowly disappearing from the extralibs bundled shipped with GHC (in favour of the platform bundle).
As the stable/head buildbots (as opposed to stable fast/head fast) are becoming less and less useful and cared for in the context of GHC, could they perhaps be reallocated to the Haskell Platform effort? It seems a shame to see these formerly useful donated build slots lie unused when the HP has no equivalent.
The 6.10.3 windows installer is due out June 1.
Given that fact, I'm surprised about the lack of activity on the HP list. But automated nightly snapshots from the buildbots would take some pressure off platform packagers, would get bugfixes out as they are done (which was why the buildbots started uploading them when GHC still came with libraries), and would allow for HP releases to use tested snapshots (as well as seeing immediately if GHC patches are going to affect their release process, allowing them to react early).
